UCCR 1.11
MOTIONS FOR RECUSAL
(A) Any party may move for the recusal of a chancellor if it appears that the chancellor’s
impartiality might be questioned by a reasonable person knowing all the circumstances, or
for other grounds provided in the Code of Judicial Conduct or otherwise as provided by
law.
(B) A motion seeking recusal shall be filed with an affidavit of the party or the party’s
attorney setting forth the factual basis underlying the asserted grounds for recusal and
declaring that the motion is filed in good faith and that the affiant truly believes the facts
underlying the grounds stated to be true.
(C) Such motion shall, in the first instance, be served on the chancellor who is the subject
of the motion within 30 days following notification to the parties of the name of the
chancellor assigned to the case; or, if it is based upon facts which could not reasonably
have been known to the filing party within such time, it shall be served within 30 days after
the filing party could reasonably discover the facts underlying the grounds asserted.
(D) The subject chancellor shall consider and rule on the motion within 30 days of service
of the motion, with hearing if necessary. If a hearing is held, it shall be on the record in
open court.
(E) The denial of a motion to recuse is subject to review by the Supreme Court on motion
of the party filing the motion as provided in M.R.A.P. 48B.
