Evidence in a formal proceeding against a judge warranted conclusions by the Commission on Judicial Conduct that six specific charges had been proved that the judge had violated the Code of Judicial Conduct, Canon 2 (requiring a judge to "[a]void [i]mpropriety") and 2 (A) (requiring him to "respect and comply with the law"), and also warranted the commission's further conclusions that the six charges showed a pattern of conduct, indicated wilful disregard of the law an not mere error of law, and constituted misconduct.

In a formal proceeding against a judge, evidence that the judge had used injudicious language on the bench; that he was abusive or discourteous toward attorney, court employees, witnesses, and litigants; and that he prevented the first assistant clerk of his court from performing the duties of his position warranted the Commission on Judicial Conduct in concluding that three charges had been proved that the judge had violated the Code of Judicial Conduct, Canon 3 (A) (3), requiring that a judge be "patient, dignified, and courteous."
