A quick definition of special judge:

A special judge is a person who is appointed or selected to hear and decide legal matters in court when the regular judge is not available or disqualified. They are like a substitute teacher for judges. They only work on specific cases and are not the regular judge. They are chosen according to local laws and regulations.

A more thorough explanation:

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.

  • If a regular judge is unable to preside over a case due to illness or conflict of interest, a special judge may be appointed to take their place.
  • In some states, special judges are used in certain types of cases, such as traffic violations or small claims court.

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.
