Judge Shelley Joseph: Full text and takeaways from her public pillorying
In 112 pages, the state Commission on Judicial Conduct rips Judge Shelley Joseph for her “willful judicial misconduct that brought the judicial office into disrepute,” the charging sheet states.

The U.S. District Attorney’s Office kicked this case over to the Commission on Judicial Conduct.
The commission falls under the auspices of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court.
The next step is to appoint a hearing officer; then a public hearing will be held.
