Law of Procedure before the Board of Grievances

A recusal motion shall be made by means of a petition filed with the court, stating the reasons therefor. The motion shall be referred to the judge subject of the recusal who shall respond in writing within a period not exceeding five days. If the judge fails to respond within said period or agrees to the grounds for recusal and such grounds are valid, the chief judge shall issue a decision recusing said judge from the case. In other cases, or if the judge subject of the recusal is the chief judge, the recusal motion shall be submitted to the Chairman of the Administrative Judicial Council to decide thereon. Submission of the motion shall result in a stay of proceedings pending a decision thereon.
