Georgia's Supreme Court has ordered the permanent removal of a county probate judge from the bench, barring him from ever holding or seeking judicial office. The court found "substantial" misconduct by Judge Kenneth E. Fowler, described by the justices as having "routinely used rude, abusive, and insulting language towards parties," among other failings. The high court dismissed his contentions that any judicial misconduct in which he may have engaged stemmed from unintentional errors and a lack of legal education.

The Supreme Court of Georgia on Monday ordered the permanent removal of a Twiggs County probate judge from the bench and barred him from ever holding or seeking judicial office.
In an 11-page ruling, the court unanimously found that Twiggs County Probate Judge Kenneth E. Fowler had violated the state’s judicial canon of ethics and that his conduct “shows that he is simply unwilling to live up to his legal and ethical responsibilities as a judge.”
