Sec. 14. (a) If the commission concludes, after investigation, to institute formal proceedings against a justice or judge, the commission shall give written notice of the proceedings to the justice or judge by registered or certified mail addressed to the judge at the judge's chambers and last known residence. The proceedings must be entitled:
"BEFORE THE INDIANA JUDICIAL
QUALIFICATIONS COMMISSION
Inquiry Concerning a (Justice) Judge, No. _______".
(b) The notice must:
(1) be issued in the name of the commission;
(2) specify in ordinary and concise language the charges against the justice or judge and the alleged facts upon which the charges are based; and
(3) advise the justice or judge of the justice's or judge's right to file a written answer to the charges not more than twenty (20) days after service of the notice.
A charge is not sufficient if it merely recites the general language of the original complaint, but must specify the facts relied upon to support a particular charge.
(c) A copy of the notice shall be filed in the office of the commission.
