“SIR!! You may step down now.”

If you feel, as criminal defendant or a party to a lawsuit, that your East Co judge runs their courtroom like the “wild west” you can invoke your ONE “peremptory challenge,” no questions asked (to get one of their lunch-buddies). It’s all in the “luck of the draw.” ;=]

However, the vast majority of SD domestic judges stay only two years in a post and are rotated out.

They have underground (oversized) closed-off-to-the-public pkg spaces to park their vehs in. They just can’t wear their hats while on the bench!

Lol, with a “lifetime” gig such as this … little to no fwy commute, with nearly 100% retirement benefits available (after 30 yrs svc) along with at least 4 weeks “vacation” plus 15-16 holidays per year, why transfer and why retire??
