A Nassau County judge, Corey E. Klein, faced censure from the State Commission on Judicial Conduct after publicly confronting a school board about his son not being named valedictorian. Klein's outburst occurred at a public meeting, where he chastised the board and insisted on being addressed by his title. Despite attempts to restore order, Klein continued his tirade, demonstrating inappropriate behavior for a judge and violating the expected decorum of such proceedings. The commission noted that Klein acknowledged his misconduct and accepted the censure.
"If you are going to try to be a lawyer, then refer to me by my title as well, okay. Thank you."
"I'm gonna stay up here now and I'm going to continue speaking."
