SCR 70.26
Deputy chief judge
The chief judge of each judicial administrative district shall
appoint a deputy chief judge to serve under the chief judge. The deputy
chief judge shall serve at the pleasure of the chief judge. The deputy chief
judge shall provide assistance to the chief judge in administrative areas
requiring the participation by a judicial officer. The deputy chief judge's
duties and authority are delegated by the chief judge and may include
acting for the chief judge in his or her absence and representing the chief
judge at official functions or in dealings with other agencies. The chief
judge may appoint a special deputy chief judge in the event the chief
judge and deputy chief judge are absent or unavailable for 10 working
days or less. A special deputy chief judge has the same authority as the
deputy chief judge under this rule.
