The Denver Gazette: Colorado’s judicial system is barely closer to fixing what some have called a broken process of disciplining judges a year after voters approved a new method of dealing with the issue and eight months after revelations the state fosters a private system of judges who fall outside of that oversight.

The state’s Commission on Judicial Discipline only last week held its first public hearing – just two people testified – to discuss new rules for how judges accused of misbehavior are to be investigated and disciplined, a system voters approved in November 2024.

The judiciary has taken no action, however, regarding Denver Gazette revelations that several retired judges working as private judges appointed by the Supreme Court’s chief justice apparently violated rules prohibiting campaign contributions.
