JQC Complaint Leading to Resignation
In a article written by Dan Klepal for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, "two attorneys filed separate complaints against Frank Cox with the Judicial Qualifications Commission, which investigates accusations of judicial misconduct and makes disciplinary recommendations to the Georgia Supreme Court."
"Both complaints center around judicial temperament, and how people were treated in Cox’s courtroom." [2]
