§ 115 Stated terms of superior court
115. Stated terms of superior court
The superior court shall operate continuously irrespective of the term in which events occur. Terms are designated for purposes of determining the rotation schedule of superior judges and the responsibility of a superior judge once a term has expired. When at the expiration of a term a superior judge is no longer assigned to a specified unit, the judge shall complete any matters that have been heard or taken under advisement for that unit. The administrative judge, pursuant to rules of the supreme court, may specially assign a superior judge to continue to preside over one or more cases even though the judge is no longer assigned to the unit of origin of the case or cases. In the absence of such a direction or of an assignment made pursuant to subsection 73(c) of this title, a judge who at the end of a term is no longer assigned to a unit shall have no further responsibility for cases in that unit. (Amended 1963, No. 15, 2; 1965, No. 51, 1-3; 1973, No. 106, 2, eff. May 25, 1973; 1973, No. 193 (Adj. Sess.), 3, eff. April 9, 1974; 2009, No. 154 (Adj. Sess.), 15.)
