When Miami-Dade County Court Judge Carroll Kelly welcomed television producers into her courtroom to film a reality show, it didn't make a good impression on the Judicial Qualifications Commission, which has accused her of giving participants "minimal notice" and misleading her superiors about the filming.

The show, "Protection Court," featured real-life litigants from the court's domestic violence division. But in ethics charges filed Wednesday, the JQC alleged Kelly's participation amounted to six violations of the rules governing judicial ethics.

"In doing so, you lent the prestige of your judicial office to advance the private interests of yourself and others," the charges said.
