A town court justice from St. Lawrence County has been admonished by the Commission on Judicial Conduct for identifying himself as a judge while witnessing a police statement for an acquaintance.
The commission said in a determination released Tuesday that Norfolk Town Court Justice Donald Lustyik acknowledged that he improperly “lent the prestige of his judicial office for the private benefit” of the man and “implicitly invoked his judicial office” by signing his name to the statement with the title “Hon” before his signature.
