<h1>Public officer misconduct requires willful wrongdoing beyond mere negligence or error of judgment</h1> Misconduct is defined as a transgression of established rules, forbidden acts, or dereliction from duty that is willful in character. It differs from negligence or carelessness as it implies wrongful intention rather than mere error of judgment. The term encompasses improper or wrong behavior, with synonyms including misdemeanor, misdeed, and misbehavior. Misconduct in office specifically refers to unlawful behavior by public officers in relation to their duties, including acts they had no right to perform, improperly performed acts, or failure to act when required. The definition is contextual and must be construed with reference to the specific subject matter and statutory framework involved.
