Legal Question in Discrimination Law in Wisconsin

Judicial Discrimination

I am wondering how to proceed if I feel I have been discriminated by the judge in my divorce hearings. I realize Judges are immune to certain things in the courtroom but I feel his behavior and comments were very discriminatory. After filing a complaint with the judicial commission of my state they have determined that my basis is unfounded and have closed my case. I am aware of many others who feel the same way. Do I have a option for recourse in this matter because I do not agree the commission? I feel they are only protecting the judge and all judges so as not to set a precedent.

Re: Judicial Discrimination

If you can REALLY prove that he was discriminating, as defined in the law, then he acted ABSENT JUDICIAL AUTHORITY and OUTSIDE HIS JURISDICTION.

Those would be the only bases upon which to sue

a judge. See my website, where I've uploaded

(1) a complaint against a few judges and (2) an opposition to the motion to dismiss it.

An appellate brief will follow as soon as I write it.

If you do sue, be prepared to go the appellate route. Your complaint will be automatically dismissed.
