Why Justuss Exists
The Judicial Oversight System Is Broken
California's official body for judge accountability has failed the public it claims to serve.
California has an official body — the Commission on Judicial Performance — that is supposed to investigate and discipline judges who are biased, corrupt, incompetent, or unfit for the bench. In practice, it fails the public it claims to serve — operating in near-total secrecy, keeping all complaints against judges hidden from the public it is supposed to protect.
The Commission routinely does nothing. Complaints are dismissed. Corrupt and cognitively impaired judges remain on the bench. The people most harmed — ordinary litigants who cannot afford to keep fighting — are left with no recourse.
The Commission's treatment of disabled complainants is particularly egregious. It imposes arbitrary time limits on disabled persons attempting to file complaints. Its staff lawyers demand that disabled persons be recorded while giving their complaint. Those same staff lawyers have been known to misrepresent — or outright lie about — what disabled persons said or did not say. The Commission refuses to provide ADA accommodations to complainants with distinct, documented disabilities.
This is not oversight. This is obstruction — a systematic denial of your right to fair and impartial judges.
This is why Justuss exists.
When the official oversight system protects judges instead of the public, the public needs its own record. Justuss gives attorneys, litigants, jurors, and witnesses a place to report what they actually experienced — anonymously, honestly, and without a gatekeeper.
