Proto-Proposal: Clarify REMAND vs REASSIGN
AI1.7
Amend rule 911 by replacing the text:
* REMAND, appropriate if there is serious doubt about the
appropriateness of the prior judgement but the judge believes
that the judge of the prior case can make a better judgement
if given a new opportunity; the prior question is rendered
open again
* REASSIGN, appropriate if there is serious doubt about the
appropriateness of the prior judgement; the judge of the prior
case (if any) is recused, and the prior question is rendered
open again
with the text:
* REMAND, appropriate if there is serious doubt about the
appropriateness of the prior judgement; the prior question is
rendered open again
* REASSIGN, appropriate if there is serious doubt about the
appropriateness of the prior judgement and the judge believes
that the judge of the prior case will not make a better
judgement if given a new opportunity; the judge of the prior
case (if any) is recused, and the prior question is rendered
open again
{Note that these say judgement, not arguments. As worded, neither of
these judgements are appropriate if the panel feels that the judgement
is appropriate but the arguments insufficient.}
