Notes of Decisions
Since there are no separate grounds for suspension, in recommending suspension the commission must prove the accused was guilty of one of the specific grounds for removal as stated in Article VII (Amended), §8. In re Piper, 271 Or 726, 534 P2d 159 (1975)
The requirements of Article VII (Amended), §1, cannot be modified by statute. In re Piper, 271 Or 726, 534 P2d 159 (1975)
Continued work by the accused upon four decedents’ estates over a period of 10 years after becoming a circuit judge did not involve “moral turpitude.” In re Piper, 271 Or 726, 534 P2d 159 (1975)
Where a judge was regularly employed as a part-time teacher for pay by a state-funded institution of higher education, Article III Section 1 of the Oregon Constitution was violated and would subject him to discipline if he continued in that employment. In the Matter of Sawyer, 286 Or 369, 594 P2d 805 (1979)
Proceedings under this section are not criminal and burden of proof, as in bar disciplinary cases, is proof by clear and convincing evidence. In re Jordan, 290 Or 303, 622 P2d 297 (1981)
Conduct of judge in giving false testimony constitutes misconduct which “bears a demonstrable relationship to the effective performance of his judicial duties” as provided in Oregon Constitution Art. VII (Am.), sec. 8 (1)(b). In re Jordan, 290 Or 303, 622 P2d 297 (1981)
