(a) Temporary Suspension The Supreme Court may order the immediate temporary suspension of a judge of the Superior Court, Tax Court, Municipal Court, or Surrogate's Court, with or without pay, from his or her judicial office or from the exercise of his or her judicial duties if the Court finds probable cause to conclude that the judge has violated the Code of Judicial Conduct, case law, or other authority and that the judge's continued service while proceedings are pending before the Committee poses a substantial threat of serious harm to the administration of justice.

(b) Presentments On review of a Presentment the Supreme Court shall:

(1) issue or order issued a complaint for removal pursuant to Rule 2:14-1; or

(2) require the judge to show cause why a sanction less than removal should not be imposed.
