Judge Patricia Warner, a domestic-relations judge in Montgomery, Alabama, faces a 127-page civil complaint alleging that she acted corruptly in more than two dozen cases.
The Alabama Judicial Inquiry Commission (JIC) served the complaint yesterday on former Montgomery County Circuit Judge Patricia Warner, who abruptly announced her retirement after being elected to a second term in November.
The 74 charges repeatedly use the term “bad faith†to describe Judge Patricia Warner’s actions. The legal definition of bad faith is “the fraudulent deception of another person; the intentional or malicious refusal to perform some duty or contractual obligation.â€
