Practice question
A litigant alleges only that a judge misread a contract in good faith and seeks reversal of the judgment solely through an administrative complaint. Available judicial remedies are not pursued. Which is best?
- The complaint automatically reopens the trial
- Every misreading is necessarily criminal
- The Supreme Court must treat it as a timely appeal regardless of rules
- Judicial independence means no judgment can be reviewed
- The claimed ordinary adjudicative error should be addressed through the proper judicial remedy, not substituted administrative proceedings
