An out-of-state lawyer has filed complaints against more than a dozen Arizona judges who presided over cases involving the 2020 and 2022 elections.
In Amy Martin’s complaints to the Commission on Judicial Conduct, she says those same judges presided over cases involving election years where they were also on the ballot.
However, none of those judges had their own elections challenged.
Nor did the litigants in any case at hand raise the issue.
Judges are assigned cases at random by a computer algorithm.
The commission’s executive director couldn’t recall an instance where a judge was found to have violated rules by not disqualifying themselves.
