The Center for Judicial Ethics is a clearinghouse for information about judicial ethics and discipline.
The CJE provides research support for the conduct commissions that investigate complaints of judicial misconduct, publishes educational materials for judges, and tracks opinions issued by ethics advisory committees. The CJE publishes the Judicial Conduct Reporter and other resources on judicial ethics, including a blog with new posts every Tuesday and Throwback Thursdays. Each year, the CJE responds to hundreds of requests for information from judges, court systems, reporters, and others. Every two years, the CJE presents the National College on Judicial Conduct and Ethics. As a private organization, the CJE does not have the authority to discipline or investigate judges.
