Low judicial standards

The Feb. 22 article “Judge Rebuked for Doing Business From the Bench” shows how low the standards are for judges in California. The state Commission on Judicial Performance gave him a “mild rebuke” for using government resources and his position as a judge to manage his personal rental business of condominiums. It is highly likely that any other profession or company would fire anyone who did this. He certainly does not deserve the title “your honor” because his actions do not reflect honor or integrity.

If the Commission on Judicial Performance thinks that this judge’s use of government staff and property to conduct personal business for four years is not sufficient reason for removing him, then it is no wonder that there are more negative jokes about attorneys than any other profession.
