Description
Pierce County Superior Court Judge Grant L. Anderson challenges a determination by the Commission on Judicial Conduct (Commission) that his extra-judicial activities relating to a deceased clients estate violated the Canons of the Code of Judicial Conduct. The Commission ordered that Judge Anderson be censured and recommended suspension for four months without pay. Additionally, the Commission ordered Judge Anderson to attend a judicial ethics course and ordered him to amend filings with the Public Disclosure Commission as a "course of corrective action." Commission Decision at 9. We agree that Judge Andersons conduct violated the Canons, however, we believe that removal from office is the proper sanction. Accordingly, we order his removal and vacate the Commissions order of corrective action.
