Superior Court Judge Anne E. Lazarus’ background and her work developing the new Judicial Code of Conduct make her a natural fit for her new position heading the Judicial Conduct Board, attorneys who spoke with the Law Weekly agreed.

Lazarus, who has served as vice chair of the board since 2012, was unanimously elected as chair of the board in February. She will replace outgoing chairman James E. McErlane, of Lamb McErlane, who served in the position since 2012.
