Former jury
Chief Justice
The Chief Judge has administrative responsibility for their district court. Unlike the Supreme Court, in which one justice is specifically nominated for head, the office of the chief judge revolves among district court judges. To be a chief, a judge must have been active in court for at least a year, under 65, and has never served as a chief judge. Vacancies are filled by the highest judges in seniority among eligible judges. The presiding judge shall be valid for a period of seven years or until the age of 70, whichever occurs first. Age restrictions are waived if no court member will qualify for that position.
When the office was founded in 1948, the chief judge was the longest serving judge who did not choose to retire on what has been known since 1958 as a senior status or refused to serve as a chief judge. After 6 August 1959, the judge could not become or remain head after the age of 70 years. Current rules have been in operation since October 1, 1982.
