A judicial officer in a legal dispute with the nation’s most seasoned federal judge suggests that the judge could potentially resolve the suspension by participating in the investigation concerning her mental well-being.

Reports by Law&Crime indicate that U.S. Circuit Judge Pauline Newman, aged 97, was temporarily suspended due to complaints about her behavior and performance at work, prompting an inquiry. Colleagues of the judge raised concerns about her work delays and frequent confusion, leading to an examination into her mental health by the circuit.

Newman chose not to engage in the investigation. Subsequently, the Committee on Judicial Conduct and Disability found substantial proof of Newman’s memory issues, lack of understanding, and confusion. Consequently, the committee instructed her to undergo an interview with a neurologist lasting 30 to 45 minutes and a comprehensive neuropsychological assessment.
