NY Supreme Court judge censured
Daily Record Staff//April 9, 2025//
The New York State Commission on Judicial Conduct has censured a judge in Warren County.
The commission found that state Supreme Court Justice Robert J. Muller failed to disqualify himself from matters involving attorneys and law firms that hosted fundraisers for his re-election campaign.
Muller agreed to the censure. The commission’s administrator would have recommended suspension from office if the commission had the authority, the commission wrote in a news release.
Muller has been a Supreme Court justice since 2009, and his current term expires on Dec. 31, 2036.
But, because Muller will reach retirement age of 70 this year, he must step down on Dec. 31.
He would be eligible to seek certification to serve an additional two years, but Muller agreed not to do so.
