The Judicial Conduct Board’s chief counsel, Robert Graci, is retiring from the agency, which has now begun searching for his replacement.

Graci, 66, said it was time to hang up his hat after 27 years as a lawyer for the state, the last six of which have been at the Judicial Conduct Board of Pennsylvania. A job listing advertising a vacancy for the $130,000- to $168,000-per-year chief counsel position recently appeared on the website of the board, which is tasked with investigating allegations of unethical behavior in the state’s judiciary.
