Budget Highlights

The Commission on Judicial Conduct, the Commission on Judicial Nomination, and the Governor’s Judicial Screening Committees are the three Judicial Commissions for the State of New York. The Commission on Judicial Conduct investigates complaints of misconduct against judges and justices. The Commission on Judicial Nomination evaluates candidates and makes recommendations to the Governor for appointments to the Court of Appeals. The Governor’s Judicial Screening Committees review qualifications and make recommendations to the Governor to fill judicial vacancies on courts other than the Court of Appeals, such as the Court of Claims and the Appellate Divisions of the Supreme Court.

The Commissions are included in the Public Protection and General Government appropriation bill.
