17-5-206. Recusal.
In the event any member elects to recuse or abstain in any matter, the matter may be heard by the remaining members of the court, or at the option of the presiding judge, a temporary replacement may be designated by the presiding judge. In making such designations, due regard will be given to the status of the recusing member, to the end that the contemplated composition and balance be maintained.
