In a courtroom, the judge has the difficult job of upholding the law and making unbiased decisions in every case. If a judge acts inappropriately while overseeing a case, individuals have the option of filing a complaint. Complaints are not something to be taken lightly and should be filed only when the judge has truly acted in a way that violates ethical standards. Filing false or frivolous complaints is not only inappropriate but can also get you into serious legal trouble.
Ohio’s Office of Disciplinary Council handles complaints against both attorneys and judges.
