i have tried very hard to inform others about specific acts of corruption by members of our judiciary, hoping that someone would look into them. i have numerous, documented examples of appearances of impropriety. i contacted lawyers, newspapers, elected representatives, even several judges. no one responded with belittling, dismissive comments. in fact, most agreed that the samples i cited were serious violations of the judicial canons and codes of conduct. yet, no one was willing to go any further.
Robert, if i can demonstrate to your satisfaction that these issues are real and important, would you be willing to help me take the next step to expose and remedy what occurred?
thanks

I have no expertise in judicial ethics. But I do know that states and the federal judiciary have formal judicial disciplinary processes. One files a formal complaint with a judicial commission. That's the only advice I can give you. There are attorneys who specialize in legal and judicial ethics whom you could turn to for advice and representation, but I don't know any.
