Interim Suspension

Upon the issuance of a written notice and complaint to a judge, or at any time thereafter, the commission may, in its discretion, issue its order directed to the judge ordering the judge to appear before the commission and show cause why the commission should not recommend to the Supreme Court that the judge be suspended from office, with compensation, while the matter is pending. The order to show cause shall be returnable before the commission at a designated place and at a time certain, at which place and time the commission shall consider the question of suspension. Thereafter, the commission, with not less than five members concurring, may recommend to the Supreme Court that the judge be suspended from performing the duties of that judge's office pending final determination of the inquiry. If the commission recommends suspension, such recommendation shall be submitted to the Supreme Court along with a record of the proceedings of the commission in relation to that recommendation.
