The Judicial Conduct Board consists of three judges, three lawyers and six non-lawyers. The board was created by constitutional amendment in 1993 to act as an independent state agency.

Board members investigate complaints of judicial misconduct and, if warranted, file formal charges against an accused judge with the Court of Judicial Discipline.
