Details - Inform Alabama

The Alabama Supreme Court formulated, established, and, on December 15, 1975, adopted the Alabama Canons of Judicial Ethics "as a code for judges and a declaration of that which the people of the State of Alabama have a right to expect of them." Preamble, Alabama Canons of Judicial Ethics. Alabama, like each of the 49 other states and the District of Columbia, has a judicial-conduct system that is the primary means by which ethical standards for and other conduct of judges are regulated. These judicial-conduct systems were instituted to ensure the integrity, independence, and impartiality of judges and the judicial system by -enforcing standards of judicial conduct on and off the bench; -assisting the judiciary in maintaining the necessary balance between independence and accountability; -providing an accessible forum for citizens' complaints against judges; -creating a greater public awareness of what constitutes proper and improper judicial conduct; and -protecting judges from false, unfounded, and inaccurate accusations.
