The Commission on Judicial Performance is an independent state agency in San Francisco, CA, established in 1960, responsible for investigating complaints of judicial misconduct and incapacity and disciplining judges in accordance with the California Constitution. Their mission is to protect the public, uphold rigorous standards of judicial conduct, and maintain public trust in the integrity and independence of the judicial system.
With jurisdiction over all judges of California's superior courts, as well as the justices of the Court of Appeal and Supreme Court, the commission ensures fair and appropriate proceedings to preserve the integrity of the judicial process. In addition to disciplinary actions, they handle judges' applications for disability retirement, focusing solely on investigating allegations of judicial misconduct and imposing necessary discipline.
