Section 17.1-911 - Suspension of judgeA. In any pending investigation or formal hearing, the Commission may suspend a judge with pay if it finds that there is probable cause to believe that the continued performance of judicial duties by the judge constitutes both a substantial and immediate threat to the public interest in the administration of justice.B. The Commission shall give the judge reasonable notice of such suspension as prescribed by the rules of the Commission and, if requested by the judge or his attorney, shall schedule a hearing during the first fifteen days of the suspension in order to determine whether justice would be served for the suspension to continue until the completion of the investigation or formal hearing.C. Any judge whose powers are suspended by the Commission shall not exercise judicial powers during such suspension, but shall continue to be bound by the Canons of Judicial Conduct.1998, cc. 672, 862, § 2.1-37.12:1; 2001, cc. 309, 318, 844.Amended by Acts 2001, § cc. 309, 318, 844.Amended by Acts 1998, § cc. 672, 862, §2.1-37.12:1.
