Florida is one of 26 states where confidentiality for a judge accused of misconduct ends once formal charges are filed by a disciplinary commission. Other states with similar practices include California, Kansas and Washington. Another seven states make the cases public once the accused has a chance to respond to the allegations, and two more … [Read more...] about Judicial discipline largely handled in “darkness” in Colorado, with most states offering greater transparency
