What is the test for judicial review of the integrity of a public official or his performance in office?

"New York", United States of America

The following excerpt is from Special Grand Jury, Matter of, 129 Misc.2d 770, 494 N.Y.S.2d 263 (N.Y. Cty. Ct. 1985):

"What is at issue here is not the integrity of a public official or his performance in office, but rather the process or procedure to be employed in charging and judging him. To be deplored, and avoided in the absence of a clear grant of legislative authority, is not public criticism of officials, but criticism contained in a court report which, while it carries, at least, the aura of a judicial pronouncement, denies to the persons involved any of those safeguards designed to protect against the violation of cherished individual rights." (Matter of Wood v. Hughes, supra, 9 N.Y.2d at p. 156, 212 N.Y.S.2d 33, 173 N.E.2d 21.)
