Ariz. R. Comm. Jud. Cond. 14
A judge against whom a complaint is filed shall not directly or indirectly engage in any act of retaliation against any person who files a complaint, cooperates in the investigation of a complaint, or acts as a witness in any proceeding brought against the judge. "Retaliation" includes, but is not limited to, the act of dismissing or procuring the dismissal, without reasonable cause, of a member of the judge's staff or other person subject to the judge's direction and control, creating a hostile or offensive working environment for such person, or filing a frivolous bar complaint against an attorney who is a complainant or witness. The commission or disciplinary counsel may, at any time, file a petition with the supreme court for an order prohibiting, at the risk of sanctions for contempt, conduct of a judge that is or appears to be retaliatory in nature.
