Judicial Complaint
Judicial Complaint
Each State has its own procedures for filing complaints against judges. All states require a written and signed complaint. Some states have a form for you to fill out. Other States request a letter. Grievances of misconduct usually concern issues of conflict of interest or impartiality. Adverse rulings or judgments are not considered legitimate grievances. You must support the complaint with sufficient documentation. Check the state web site to find the requirements for a judicial complaint.
Filing a complaint against a federal judge requires finding out the federal district of the state the judge presides in. The procedure requires filling out a form to the clerk of the federal court of appeals. The complaint is then reviewed by the chief justice of the appeals.
