The state Judicial Discipline Commission has set the date for a hearing in Las Vegas.A 12-point complaint filed in December 2012 alleges Jones had a “close social and personal relationship” with then-Deputy District Attorney Lisa Willardson. He refused to disqualify himself in cases handled by Willardson, even though opposing parties asked him to step aside, the complaint alleges.
The complaint says the rules of judicial conduct prohibit a judge from letting his personal life influence his rulings.
Commission members to sit on the disciplinary case are Chairman Doug Jones of Lake Tahoe, Mary Lau of Dayton. District Judge Jerome Polaha of Reno, District Judge Richard Wagner of Lovelock. Wayne Chimarusti of Carson City, and Karl Armstrong and Gary Vause, both of Las Vegas.

This is good. Judges should get every chance at due process as well. And then we'll just see how it turns out.
For shame, judge!
