Judicial Conduct
In Ontario, there are two Councils that have the authority to investigate complaints about the conduct of provincial judicial officers of the Ontario Court of Justice. The Council that you would send your complaint to depends upon whether your concern is about the conduct of a provincial judge or a justice of the peace.
