Section 111 - Recusal
Recusal is an official means by which a member may disqualify himself or herself from participating in a pending matter. In this regard members shall be guided by Rule 5(C) of the Rules Governing the Conduct of Members of the Court of Judicial Discipline, pertaining to disqualification. When a member determines that he or she must recuse themselves from participation in a pending matter, they shall submit to the Court Administrator a memo indicating that they have recused themselves from participating in the pending matter. Such memo is necessary even if the member has officially recused himself or herself during the course of a Court proceeding. The memo need not specify the reasons for recusal.
