organizations responsible for handling complaints against judges. These boards typically
investigate allegations of judicial misconduct or inappropriate behavior. You can searchfor thespecific judicial conduct board in your jurisdiction and find out how to file a complaint.

2. Court Administration: Contact the court administration or the administrative office of thecourts in your region. They may have a designated process for handling complaints against
judges. They can provide guidance on how to submit a complaint and what steps will be taken.

3. Bar Associations: In some jurisdictions, complaints against judges may be handled by thelocal or national bar association. Bar associations often have disciplinary committees that
investigate complaints related to the conduct of attorneys and judges. Reach out to the
appropriate bar association for information on the complaint procedure.

4. Ombudsman or Ombuds Office: Some countries have ombudsman offices that handlecomplaints related to government institutions, including the judiciary. These offices act asindependent entities that investigate complaints of maladministration or improper behavior bypublic officials, including judges. Check if your jurisdiction has an ombudsman or similar officeand inquire about their complaint process.
