The California Commission on Judicial Performance issued a press release yesterday about instituting "formal proceedings to inquire into matters concerning Judge Robert S. Draper of the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles."
A copy of the Notice of Formal Proceedings is posted on the commission’s website. Judge Draper’s Answer to the Notice is due February 3, 2026. Judge Draper is represented by Attorney Paige L. Adamczyk of Burbank.
The Notice of Formal Proceedings was filed on January 14, 2026.
The conduct alleged is from 2012 to the present." By the following allegations, you are charged with willful misconduct in office, persistent failure or inability to perform your duties, conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice that brings the judicial office into disrepute, and improper action, within the meaning of article VI, section 18 of the California Constitution, which provides for the removal, censure, public admonishment, or private admonishment of a judge or former judge."
Commenting on race and gender, inappropriate remarks about a female witness or attorney, sharing inappropriate images on the court email system, improper ex parte communication, bringing a man from the street Judge Draper did not know into chambers and asking court staff to find a place for him at night are just some of the issues raised in the notice.
Another former California Governor Jerry Brown appointee.
