CJA's ARCHIVE OF FEDERAL JUDICIAL MISCONDUCT COMPLAINTS
filed under "The 1980 Act"


"The thousands of judicial misconduct complaints filed under the Act by ordinary citizens -- virtually 100% dismissed by chief circuit judges, without appointment of special committees to investigate -- are the best evidence of how the federal judiciary has corrupted federal judicial discipline.  This is why the federal judiciary, to impede oversight by Congress and the American Public, made them confidential.  It is also why the Breyer Committee fashioned a 'study' where citizens would not be interviewed or have the opportunity to testify about their complaints."   CJA's March 6, 2008 Critique of the Breyer Committee Report, Conclusion, at p. 73
