JUDICIAL DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDINGS

Conducting judicial disciplinary proceedings properly is

key for judiciaries. Proceedings ensure that judges are

behaving in accordance with international standards of

judicial ethics, such as the Bangalore Principles of

Judicial Conduct. However, questions of individual and

institutional judicial independence arise. For instance,

judiciaries should ensure that judges are not being

disciplined for well-founded judicial decisions that some

disagree with.

DAVID SACHARDavid Sachar is the Executive Director of the

Judicial Discipline and Disability Commission

for the State of Arkansas in the United

States, as well as an Advisory Board member

of the National Center for State Courts.
