A special judge is a type of judge who is appointed or selected to sit in a specific case, usually in the absence or disqualification of the regular judge or as provided by statute. This type of judge is not a regular member of the court and is only called upon when needed.
These examples illustrate how a special judge is called upon when the regular judge is unable to perform their duties or when a specific type of case requires a specialized judge.
