In view of the "proposed rule" of the New York State Commission for Judicial Conduct, after its existence since 1974 without this rule, to now prohibit practice before the Commission of members, former members and their law firms in representation of judges and witnesses, I asked, in writing, to revive and renew all investigations against judges since 1974 in view of the taint.
I do understand, of course, that some investigations are moot because some judges who were subject of complaints were voted out of office, retired or died.
Yet, complaints made at any time against those judges who are still on the bench, should be revived because of the taint in how they were dismissed.
I already wrote on this blog about this rule and its consequences of taint on investigations.
Now I asked the Commission to clean up its act.
I also asked the Commission, under the Freedom of Information Law, to provide to me names of members, former members of the Commission and their law firms who DID practice in front of the Commission, with details - who they represented and in which cases.
I will report on this blog about any response from the Commission.
Here is my request to the Commission:
