Judicial council (United States federal courts)

Judicial councils are the disciplinary panels of the United States federal courts. They deal with matters of discipline for United States federal judges. Each judicial panel has the jurisdiction covered by a United States court of appeals. The councils have authority over the judges of the court of appeals and the lower federal courts (United States district courts and United States bankruptcy courts) in the court of appeals' jurisdiction.
