The commission on judicial conduct may dismiss a case if a judge took corrective action in the case against him or her.

• A. Only if the judge resigns
• B. Only after a vote by the legislature
• C. True
• D. False

Answer: (C)

Taking corrective action shows the judge is addressing the issue, and the commission on judicial conduct has authority to dismiss a case when the judge has corrected the behavior and there is no ongoing risk to the public trust. The process isn’t limited to resignation or legislative approval—the emphasis is on remediation and ensuring ethical standards are met. When a judge takes proper corrective steps, the commission may close the case by dismissal because the conduct has been remedied and further action isn’t needed. So the statement is true.
