UCRCCC 1.15

Any party may move for the recusal of a judge of the circuit or county court if it

appears that the judge’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. 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. Such motion shall, in the first instance, be filed with

the judge who is the subject of the motion within 30 days following notification to the parties

of the name of the judge 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 filed within 30

days after the filing party could reasonably discover the facts underlying the grounds asserted.

The subject judge shall consider and rule on the motion within 30 days of the filing of the

motion, with hearing if necessary. If a hearing is held, it shall be on the record in open court.

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.
