The Minnesota Board on Judicial Standards is an independent state agency responsible for addressing complaints regarding violations of the Code of Judicial Conduct by Minnesota state court judges. They have the authority to discipline judges and handle judicial disability matters, while also providing advisory opinions and promoting judicial ethics education.
Established in 1972 by the Minnesota Legislature, the Board consists of volunteer members appointed by the Governor, including judges, public members, and lawyers. The Board's rules and the Code of Judicial Conduct are adopted by the Minnesota Supreme Court, and day-to-day operations are managed by the Executive Secretary.
