In re: Judge Joseph A. Jaffe --- No. 6 JD 02
814 A.2d 308 (Pa.Ct.Jud.Disc. 2003)
Filed January 15, 2003
Opinion and Order, Sposato, P.J.
The Judicial Conduct Board obtained an interim suspension order based upon the indictments filed against Judge Jaffe charging him with felonies involving extortion of funds from two lawyers who had cases pending before him. The Court concluded that because of the totality of the circumstances of this case, an interim suspension without pay was appropriate. Medical benefits, however, would not be suspended during the effectiveness of the Court’s order.
