Rule 2.817 Disclosures to the parties

When a temporary judge is assigned to your case, they are required to tell you certain things about themselves before handling your case. This might include things like past relationships with the parties involved, financial interests, or other situations that could affect their fairness.

These disclosure rules exist so that you can decide whether to object to that person serving as your judge. If a temporary judge does not share information they were supposed to share, that could be grounds to challenge their role in your case.
