NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - A Nashville judge has been publicly reprimanded for hiring her daughter as her court officer.

A Friday letter from the Tennessee Court of the Judiciary to Davidson County General Sessions Judge Gloria Dumas states that the hiring violated judicial ethics, which require a judge to make appointments based on merit.

The letter says the judge's actions undermine public confidence in the administration of justice.

The court filed formal misconduct charges against Dumas last October.

Now, of course if it was the Judge’s chef, well, that would be another thing entirely.

...violated judicial ethics... undermine public confidence in the administration of justice.

So much could be said about this. Not enough room.

For some reason the joke song “Pardon me Roy” popped into my head.
