The [http://www.cjp.ca.gov/ '''California Commission on Judicial Performance]''' is an independent state agency that handles complaints about California judges for judicial misconduct or wrongdoing. It also handles judicial disability matters. 

The Commission can investigate and take disciplinary action, or in the most serious cases, recommend to the Supreme Court that it impose discipline. In order of increasing severity, the Commission may issue a confidential advisory letter, a private admonishment, or, if the judge consents, a public reprimand. If the Commission makes a recommendation to the Supreme Court, the Court then may impose public censure, removal, or involuntary retirement.
