Judicial Qualifications Commission’s authority was limited to disciplining individual judges. Ga. Const. 1983, Art. VI, Sec. VII, Para. VI and VII, and did not extend to dictating whether the Georgia Council of State Court Judges could file an amicus brief in pending litigation; the Council was permitted to file such briefs pursuant to its duties and authority under Ga. Const. 1983, Art. VI, Sec. IX, Para. I, and O.C.G.A. § 15-7-26(b), although individual judges generally could not. In re Judicial Qualifications Comm’n Formal Advisory Opinion No. 241, 301 Ga. 54, 799 S.E.2d 781, 2017 Ga. LEXIS 319 (2017). Judicial Qualifications Commission was not authorized to pronounce the law in unsettled areas; therefore, its formal advisory opinion regarding the unsettled areas regarding whether the right of public access to the courts extended to children, or whether inquiries by security personnel amounted to a closure of the courts, exceeded its authority. In re Judicial Qualifications Comm’n Formal Advisory Opinion No. 239, 300 Ga. 291, 794 S.E.2d 631, 2016 Ga. LEXIS 777 (2016).
