PRIVATE REPRIMAND - aka “not even a slap on the wrist”
On Friday, April 1, 2011, I posted a blog regarding Shelby County Circuit Court judge Donna Fields. That blog mentioned private reprimands that Judge Donna received from the Tennessee Court of the Judiciary (“TCOJ“). A copy of the TCOJ’s decision to one of four complainants is posted on the An Attorney’s Tale Facebook page.

All four complainants received the same “form letter” with the exception of the complaint number and the complainant’s name and address (which I redacted in the post).
A judge can publicly, in open court, commit ethical violations or worse against someone and get a "private" slap on the wrist. Where is the justice in that????
The Tennessee Court of the Judiciary - judges policing judges. No justice there.
