All but 35 of the 149 complaints the state Commission on Judicial Conduct chose to investigate in 2006 were ultimately tossed out as "frivolous or unfounded" or for simply lacking teeth, according to a new report.

All told, 476 gripes crossed JCC desks last year, nearly half of them complaints against judges sitting in Probate and Family Court. Only judges in Land and Housing Court escaped the public's wrath.
