Judicial Misconduct: What Is It?
Seventh Judicial Circuit Judge Chris Williams resigned after an investigation. He's not alone.
Circuit judges are elected officials.
They are attorneys who run in non-partisan elections. If they are elected, they serve six-year terms, and many times they are re-elected again and again.
That was the case with Seventh Judicial Circuit Judge Chris Williams, 69, who has presided over cases in Hot Spring and Grant counties for 20 years.
