Judicial Review Council

The Connecticut Judicial Review Council is a government organization based in Hartford, CT, dedicated to investigating and resolving complaints of misconduct, disability, or substance abuse by state judges, family support magistrates, and workers' compensation commissioners. Their mission is to ensure high standards of judicial conduct and promote public confidence in the courts and the integrity of the judiciary.

With an average of over 100 complaints received each year, the council strives to address allegations of improper behavior by judges, although the majority of these complaints are dismissed. While they cannot influence case outcomes or remove judges from specific cases, the council focuses on violations of the judicial code of conduct, which includes canons related to upholding the independence, integrity, impartiality, and professionalism of the judiciary.
