Complaints about Montana Judges and Montana Lawyers
Each State has its own procedures for filing complaints against judges. All states require a written and signed complaint. Some states have a form for you to fill out. Other States request a letter. Grievances of misconduct usually concern issues of conflict of interest or impartiality. Adverse rulings or judgments are not considered legitimate grievances. You must support the complaint about the Montana Judge with sufficient documentation. Contact the Montana Judicial Standards Commission.
All states maintain an agency to process lawyer complaints. These disciplinary counsels can usually be found as a department of the state bar association or as a branch of the state supreme court. Complaints can be filed by filling out a form supplied by the disciplinary counsel or by writing a letter to Office of Disciplinary Counsel. Check the Montana web site www.montanacourts.org/ to find the requirements for a complaint about a Montana Lawyer.
