SCR 70.20
Authority of the chief judge
(1) The chief judge shall exercise within the judicial administrative
district the full administrative power of the judicial branch of government
subject to the administrative control of the supreme court. The chief judge
may order that his or her directives, policies and rules be carried out.
Failure to comply with an order of the chief judge may be grounds for
discipline under sections 757.81 to 757.99 of the statutes.
(2) The administrative authority of the chief judge extends to the
municipal courts of the judicial administrative district. If a municipal
court is located in more than one judicial administrative district, the chief
judge whose district includes the county having the largest portion of the
population served by the municipal court shall have administrative
authority over that court, consistent with section 755.001(2) of the
statutes.
