July 10, 2009

North Carolina: The standard rotation of Superior Court judges was suspended by Supreme Court Chief Justice Sarah Parker due to the state's current budget crisis. Rotation will cease effective Monday, July 20th, and continue through Friday, August 28th. [1][2]

The rotation system is intended to avoid the favoritism that might result from having a permanent judge in one district. Normally Superior Court judges would rotate among the districts within their division every six months.[3]
