A judge has consulted with me. I am trying to see if there is any kind of program like ARD for judges in the judicial disciplinary system. Is there?  

There is. And it is found in the Judicial Conduct Board’s Operating Procedure in Rule 8.03. This rule is titled “Probation.” The rule at issue is found under 8.03(d) titled “Board Imposed Probation.” That is different program than when the matter goes to the Court of Judicial Discipline and there is probation. This is a diversionary type of program that the Judicial Conduct Board can have a judge participate in to avoid a trial or more serious discipline. This program can allow a judge to get help, but still remain on the bench.
