Rule 30 Time and place of hearing.

When a judge is formally charged with misconduct, the case moves forward to a full hearing where the evidence is examined. The timing of this hearing follows a schedule already set out in another rule (Rule 27(A)). This keeps the process moving at a consistent pace once charges are filed.

The location of the hearing is decided by the Commission's executive director, but not alone. The director works together with the Commission members to pick a place. This ensures the hearing location works for everyone involved in the case, including the judge facing charges.
