The California Supreme Court described corruption as follows:
“To commit willful misconduct in office, a judge must (1) engage in conduct that is unjudicial and (2) committed in bad faith, (3) while acting in a judicial capacity.”
The Court further continued: “A judge acts in bad faith only by …. (2) performing a judicial act with knowledge that the act is beyond the judge's lawful judicial power, or (3) performing a judicial act that exceeds the judge's lawful power with a conscious disregard for the limits of the judge's authority.” The Supreme Court in Broadman v. Commission on Judicial Performance, (1998) 18 Cal.4th 1079, 1092.
