Former Coffee County judge Chris Kaminski pleads guilty on most ethics charges, banned from future judgeships


Former Coffee County District Judge Chris Kaminski (R) will never hold another judicial office in Alabama after pleading guilty to several ethics charges Tuesday.

Kaminski and the Alabama Court of the Judiciary reached a settlement, which the parties formalized in a hearing in Montgomery. In the agreement, Kaminski admitted to providing improper benefits to an Enterprise attorney with whom he has had a romantic relationship since June 2017.

The settlement dismissed the ethics charge that stated he was not “forthright and truthful” during the Judicial Inquiry Commission’s investigation of the allegations against him. As part of the agreement, Kaminski vows to never vie for a judicial position in the state. Kaminski resigned from his judgeship on July 16, the day the Court of the Judiciary announced the allegations against him.

In the agreement, Kaminski agreed that he indeed had a romantic relationship with a local attorney who frequently practiced in his court. The relationship became public several months later after a divorce between Kaminski and his former wife was made final.
