Any judge who plans to be absent from the Court should arrange for another judge to sit in the stead of the absent judge. Any judge whose workload makes it difficult to hear a particular matter in a case may arrange for another judge to sit in the stead of the unavailable judge in that matter. A notice shall be posted indicating the name of the judge who will hear matters and the room number of that judge's courtroom. Copies of that notice will be supplied to the clerk of the Court and chief judge.

Committee Note: This rule is based on General Rule 1.23 and local Interim Bankruptcy Rule 1.23, modified to make clear that the absent judge may make temporary arrangements with any judge, not only with the emergency judge in accord with present practice.
