Section 6 - JUDGES OF DISTRICT COURT; REMOVAL BY SUPREME COURT
Any judge of the District Courts of the State who is incompetent to discharge the duties of his office, or who
shall be guilty of partiality, or oppression, or other official misconduct, or whose habits and conduct
are such as to render him unfit to hold such office, or who shall negligently fail to perform his duties
as judge; or who shall fail to execute in a reasonable measure the business in his courts, may be
removed by the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court shall have original jurisdiction to hear and
determine the causes aforesaid when presented in writing upon the oaths taken before some judge
of a court of record of not less than ten lawyers, practicing in the courts held by such judge, and
licensed to practice in the Supreme Court; said presentment to be founded either upon the knowledge
of the persons making it or upon the written oaths as to the facts of creditable witnesses. The
Supreme Court may issue all needful process and prescribe all needful rules to give effect to this
section. Causes of this kind shall have precedence and be tried as soon as practicable.
