Complaints about New York Judges and New York Lawyers
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 about the New York Judge with sufficient documentation. Contact the New York State Commission on Judicial Conduct.
All states maintain an agency to process lawyer complaints. These disciplinary counsels can usually be found as a department of the state bar association or as a branch of the state supreme court. Complaints can be filed by filling out a form supplied by the disciplinary counsel or by writing a letter to First Judicial Department Departmental Disciplinary Committee. Check the New York web site www.courts.state.ny.us to find the requirements for a complaint about a New York Lawyer.
