3Judges and Judicial Ethics
All Workers’ Compensation Administrative Law Judges must follow the California Code of
Judicial Ethics. A copy of the Code is available for inspection at any Workers’ Compensation Appeals
Board office. A copy of the Code may be obtained for the cost or reproduction ($2.00) by writing to:
Division of Workers’ Compensation
P.O. Box 420603
San Francisco, CA 94142-0603
Please make your $2.00 check or money order payable to “Division of Workers’ Compensation.”
If you have evidence that a Worker’s Compensation Administrative Law Judge has
violated the Code of Judicial Ethics, you may complain either to:
The Presiding Workers’ Compensation Judge
at the Workers’ Compensation Board district office
where the judge is employed;
or to:
Workers’ Compensation Ethics Advisory Committee
Department of Industrial Relations
P.O. Box 420603
San Francisco, CA 94142-0603
The Workers’ Compensation Ethics Advisory Committee is an independent state committee.
The Committee receives and monitors complaints against Workers’ Compensation Administrative Law
Judges.
Complaints must be in writing and must allege specific conduct which violates the Code. Please
use the complaint form which is available free at every Appeals Board office.
Examples of Code violations are abusive conduct (e.g. threats, harassment, profanity),
expressions of bias or prejudice, accepting a payment or gift from a litigant, intoxication, etc.
A ruling by a judge - no matter how wrong that ruling is - is not by itself an ethical violation.
If you think the Judge made a wrong decision in your case, you should consult with a lawyer or an
Information & Assistance Officer. You may have the right to file a petition for reconsideration or to seek
some other legal remedy to correct the wrong ruling. You should act promptly. One normally has only 20
days to appeal any decision of a Workers’ Compensation Judge.
Note: Filing a complaint with the Ethics Advisory Committee is NOT a Petition for Reconsideration or
Appeal of an Award or Order. Filing a complaint will NOT result in a reversal or change in any
decision already made by the judge.
