Washington Commission On Judicial Conduct Announces New Anti-Harassment Taskforce
The Washington State Commission on Judicial Conduct convened for its scheduled business meeting on Friday, February 6, keeping to a brief agenda highlighted by the announcement of a new internal initiative.
During the Executive Director’s report, the Commission announced the formation of a judicial anti-harassment taskforce. The stated goal of the new taskforce is to improve the work environment within the judicial branch, specifically hoping to make the workplace a more respectful place for “everyone who works there.”
The meeting was otherwise procedural in nature. The Commission announced that there were no stipulations or formal decisions to release this session. Minutes from the November meeting were approved as written.
The session was opened for public comment, but none was offered.
The Commission is scheduled to reconvene for its next business meeting on April 24, 2026. That session will be held at the Skybridge Hotel at SeaTac.
So people who are working in the judicial branch need a taskforce to deal with harassment issues — because the people in the judicial branch don’t know how to behave without harassing people? I get it that government will find any way to waste money for job creation, but maybe they should rethink the message this kind of taskforce is sending. Maybe stop hiring people who don’t know how to behave; just a thought. LOL.
