IOP28. Guidance for the Chief Judge during a Judge’s Absence


The Chief Judge has authority to reassign cases or enlist other judges to help manage the caseload of a judge who has not held court in person for a period of two months or more.  If the Chief Judge determines that reassignment of the cases may thus be necessary, the Chief Judge shall first seek the approval of the Executive Committee prior to entering a reassignment order.  Should the Executive Committee concur, a reassignment order will be entered.  Once the original presiding judge returns to the bench, the cases can return to that judge, with the approval of the Executive Committee.
