In Re Emmet , 293 Ala. 143 ( 1974 )

MADDOX, Justice

(concurring specially).

I concur that what Judge EMMET did was not “misconduct in office,” but I believe the opinion is dicta. Judge ElVfMET wrote the letter on December 17, 1973, before the new Judicial Article was approved by the people and ratified by the Governor. Therefore, I think the Court of the Judiciary was without jurisdiction of the charge.
