Arkansas Judicial Discipline and Disability Commission v. Robin Carroll, Circuit Judge

Summary

The court ordered the Commission to file under seal the complete investigative record underlying its recommended uncontested sanction against the respondent judge. It held that confidentiality rules protecting investigative materials from public disclosure did not prevent the court from reviewing those materials because the court was responsible for approving, modifying, or rejecting the recommended sanction. The order did not finally determine the appropriate sanction.
