N.J. Judge Reprimanded for Foul-Mouthed Harangues From Bench
New Jersey Judge F. Michael Giles judge has been reprimanded for directing profanity-laced invective at lawyers and litigants on multiple occasions. The state Supreme Court followed the Advisory Committee on Judicial Conduct's recommendation that Giles not be suspended, based on findings that he was suffering from health problems and personal family tragedies at the time his outbursts occurred. Giles did not contest the presentment and waived his right to a hearing before the court.
