Judge Edwin Clontz of Candler, NC; ethical goblin
The state of North Carolina presented Edwin Clontz with a law license in 2000 after he graduated from Wake Forest University School of Law.
The North Carolina Judicial Standards Commission found Eddie guilty of engaging in the following misconduct.
-
Engaged in conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice
-
Engaged in conduct brining judicial office into disrepute
-
Improperly held a probable-cause hearing without a defendant’s court-appointed counsel present
-
Failed to conduct himself in manner promoting public confidence in the judiciary
-
Respondent improperly ordered an attorney into custody
-
Demanded information subject to the attorney-client privilege
-
Failed to accord litigants appearing before the right to be heard (due process)
-
As a direct consequence of his misconduct, the enablers for Judicial Misfits sitting on the North Carolina Supreme Court punished Billy by gifting him with a complimentary reprimand.
As we speak (ca. March 2022), Billy practices his so-called brand of jurisprudence as a 28thDistrict Court Judge in Candler, North Carolina.
