糖心视频 professor Nina M. Moore has been appointed by Gov. David A. Paterson to a four-year term on the New York State Commission on Judicial Conduct.
The commission is the state agency responsible for investigating complaints of misconduct against judges of the state unified court system and, where appropriate, determining to admonish, censure or remove from office those judges found to have engaged in unethical behavior.
Composed of 11 members, all of whom serve without pay, the commission has a full-time staff operating from offices in Albany, Rochester, and New York.
鈥淚鈥檓 honored to have been selected by the governor for this commission, which I believe provides important oversight of our state鈥檚 judicial system,鈥 said Moore. 鈥淢y hope is to add as much to the commission鈥檚 deliberations and investigations as I am sure I will learn from being part of the process and interacting with the finest jurists and attorneys from across the state.鈥
