Who do you go to if a judge abuses/misuses his authority?

Yeah, it sounds like it. Am I surprised? No. I am in these courts all the time and it never ceases to amaze me, what these judges get away with. The doent you file is a Judicial Conduct compaint. YOu can find information by contacting your local bar ociation. And since you are online, google Judicial Rules of Conduct for your state. There you wlll find the rules of conduct, they are SUPPOSED to follow. When you write your complaint, try and engrain some of these rules that you feel best support your accusations, that they have not complied with. BUT, im so sorry to tell you, good luck. Myself and several other colleagues have filed judicial conduct complaints before, with good sound reasons, but it never went very far. You see, it is lawyers judging other lawyers and they always, ALWAYS take their back door. The only ones I have seen been actually listened to with interest are the ones where your local news station caught them on camera driving drunk or something in that nature. Or if the police are involved. Those are listened to as it is on camera or official, they almost HAVE to listen, if you know what I mean. But you and I, just Joe Average Citizen, whoes lives are ruined due to their inconsideration or bias, well, we are usually blown off. I agree with you, you were screwed. And yes, I would still file it as they have to take the time to respond. I wouldnt let them just get away with it. So, even if you get shot down, they KNEW you were there and didnt approve of their unofficial conduct.
