California Agency Polices Judges San Francisco
California Commission on Judicial Qualifications, a pioneer in policing judicial competency, urged the California Supreme Court to remove Los Angeles Municipal Court Judge Leland W. Geiler. The nine member body, created in 1960, has rarely recommended removals, but this case follows a two year surge of investigations that flagged prejudice against public defenders, alleged misconduct, and a noted incident of jabbing an electric prod at a defender. The commission operates confidentially until a removal or censure decision is issued.
