Indiana Code Title 33. Courts and Court Officers § 33-33-71-52

Sec. 52. (a) After the investigation is completed and if the commission on judicial qualifications concludes that formal proceedings should be instituted, the commission shall give written notice to the judge advising the judge of the institution of formal proceedings to inquire into the charges against the judge.  These proceedings shall be entitled:

“BEFORE THE ST. JOSEPH COUNTY JUDICIAL

QUALIFICATIONS COMMISSION

Inquiry Concerning a Judge, No._______ .”.

(b) The notice must be issued in the name of the commission on judicial qualifications, specify in ordinary and concise language the charges against the judge and the alleged facts upon which the charges are based, and advise the judge of the judge's right to file a written answer to the charges against the judge within twenty (20) days after service of the notice upon the judge.  A charge is not sufficient if it merely recites the general language of the original complaint.  The charge must specify the facts relied upon to support a particular charge.  A copy of the notice shall be filed in the office of the commission on judicial qualifications.

(c) The notice shall be made upon the judge by registered or certified mail addressed to the judge at the judge's chambers and the judge's last known address.
