JUDICIAL ETHICS & This page guides you to Nevada’s procedure for complaining about a judge if you think that judge violated the ethics of judges [section 1], and also guides you [2] to the place where a judge or candidate for a judgeship can complain about unfair campaign practices. Each place tells you how to complain in that area. First, is the URL to [1] the website of Nevada’s Commission on Judicial Discipline. If you want to see how to file a complaint about the professional ethics of a Nevada judge, go to this website and click on first link, the Commission on Judicial Discipline. It will give you the complaint form to use, and directions about how to use it.
