Beyond sanctions, which activities does the Commission engage in to support the judiciary?

• A. It offers assistance to judges with impairment and participates as faculty in continuing education.
• B. It publishes weekly newsletters.
• C. It handles only confidentiality matters.
• D. It does not engage in education.

Answer: (A)

Supporting the judiciary includes proactive education and well‑being support, not just punishment. The option that says the Commission offers assistance to judges with impairment and serves as faculty in continuing education reflects a constructive, ongoing role: it helps judges stay competent, ethical, and healthy, which strengthens the entire judiciary and public confidence. Ongoing education and support for impairment are common, essential activities for a body that oversees judicial performance. The other options are narrower or inconsistent with this broader mission: publishing weekly newsletters may be helpful but doesn’t capture the full scope; handling only confidentiality matters is too limited; and not engaging in education contradicts the purpose of ongoing professional development.
