Y'know, I didn't buy this when I was assigning judges last month, but I didn't push it. There's only one way to formally judge a CFJ, that is, to be a Trial Judge. Being an Appellate judge is judging a judgement, not judging a CFJ, according to R1564. Given that, the only way that: > iv) E is ineligible to Judge the CFJ at the time of selection. can be reasonably interpreted is that "ineligible to judge a CFJ" means "ineligible to be a trial judge of that CFJ." Yes, I think it's broken. -Goethe
