Judges
(a) Powers. See rule 77.
(b) Disability of a Judge. If by reason of death, sickness, or other disability, a judge
before whom an action has been tried is unable to perform the duties to be performed by the court
under these rules after a verdict is returned or findings of fact and conclusions of law are filed,
then any other judge regularly sitting in or assigned to the court in which the action was tried may
perform those duties; but if a new judge cannot perform those duties, the new judge has the
discretion to grant a new trial.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law.
