JUDICIAL MISCONDUCT COMPLAINT FORM
Please use this form to submit a complaint if you believe there has been judicial
misconduct of a justice, judge, assistant judge, acting judge, magistrate, or hearing
officer. Judicial misconduct includes, but is not limited to, violations of the Code of
Judicial Conduct, willful, and persistent failure to perform judicial duties, and habitual
intemperance (such as alcohol abuse). The Code of Judicial Conduct can be found on the
Judiciary’s website at the Judicial Conduct Board Page at
www.vermontjudiciary.org/about-vermont-judiciary/boards-and-committees/judicial-
conduct then choosing “Text of A.O. 10 Vt. Code of Judicial Conduct” at the bottom of
the main page. The Board also investigates complaints alleging a physical or mental
disability of a judge, either temporary or permanent, if it may seriously interfere with
the judge’s performance of judicial duties. Before completing this form, please review
the Judicial Conduct Board’s “Information Concerning Judicial Complaint Procedures,”
which can be found near the bottom of the main page.
By signing this form, you certify that the information is a complete and accurate
representation of the facts to the best of your knowledge. A copy of your complaint will
be sent to the judge who is the subject of your complaint. Your identity and the contents
of the form will be kept confidential from the general public unless the Judicial Conduct
Board files a formal complaint against the judge. At that time the proceeding will
become public.
