Reserve Judge

Reserve Judge

A Reserve Judge is a formerly elected judge or, on occasion, an appointed official that offers their services as a substitute judge when required. Reserve judges supplement judges in states and municipalities that either do not have the number of judges needed to keep up with the number of cases filed, or as an alternate judge in jurisdictions with a single judge where a judge is substituted or must recuse himself. Reserve Judges may also be used as substitutes when another judge is ill or on vacation.

A Reserve Judge is distinguished from a Commissioner in that a Reserve Judge is meant for intermittent, temporary work only, not as a permanent solution. Also, Reserve Judges may handle any cases a normal Judge can handle, whereas Commissioners are more limited in their authority.
