State v. Joseph M. Clark

6-21-07 (A-9-06)

The chief investigator of the Court’s Advisory Committee on
Judicial Conduct must comply with a subpoena ad testificandum in
respect of the criminal trial at issue in the within matter.
Compliance with a subpoena after an indictment has issued and a
trial is poised to commence will not harm the ACJC’s
investigatory flexibility or risk unfairness to the judge
involved. More importantly, the interests of respect for, and
public confidence in, the Judiciary require public disclosure in
this instance.
