The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court is the entity that is legally responsible for enforcing the Rules of Professional Conduct governing the conduct of attorneys in New York State. The Appellate Division Departments have created grievance committees that are charged with the investigation of complaints against attorneys. Within the First Judicial Department the Departmental Disciplinary Committee of the Appellate Division investigates complaints against attorneys. The New York State Commission on Judicial Conduct was created by the State Constitution and is charged with investigating complaints against Judges and Justices of the Unified Court System.
According to the 2009 Report of the Commission on Judicial Conduct, there were 1,923 complaints filed in 2008. Yet of these complaints only 262 were investigated and of those, 173 were dismissed. This hearing will examine the processes and procedures that are followed by the various agencies charged with the responsibility of enforcing the rules and regulations that must be followed by the Judiciary and the Bar in the State of New York. It will also evaluate public satisfaction with the disciplinary process.
It's about time. What happened to the committee he was going to set up?
ReplyDeleteGO JOHN SAMPSON. He's the closest thing we have to a leader in this sad "empire" state.
ReplyDeleteI tried to speak on 9/24 and Lisa Lashley from Sen Sampson's office said that there was no room. How are they going to block me this time? Are these hearing a cover up?
ReplyDeleteI Will be there I have a lot to say about the disciplinary department they let this lawyer steal millions from my injury and told me that the city6 settled with my claim for 1,500, and only gave 700.00 in 2005 the department claim that the lawyer was confused about my settlment. ALL LIES
