Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the Obergericht's Verwaltungskommission qualified as an independent judicial authority for purposes of federal judicial review.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. When deciding appeals against lawyer-register decisions, the Verwaltungskommission acts as an independent judicial authority under Art. 98a OG.
Extrahierte Begründung
It performs genuine adjudicative functions, is not the opposing supervisory authority, and collegial proximity within the Obergericht does not by itself create bias or lack of independence.
