IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF ALASKA
ORDER NO. 1262
Amending Administrative Rule 23
concerning appointment of
retired justices or judges for
pro tempore service.
IT IS ORDERED:
Administrative Rule 23 is amended to read as follows:
(a) Appointment Pro Tempore. The chief
justice, or another justice designated by the
chief justice, may by special assignment
appoint a retired justice or a retired judge
of the court of appeals or the superior court
to sit pro tempore as a senior justice or
judge in any court of this state, and a
retired judge of the district court to sit as
a judge of the district court pro tempore
where such assignment is deemed necessary for
the efficient administration of justice.
* * * *
(c) Compensation. A retired justice or
judge is entitled to receive compensation for
judicial service pro tempore at the rate of
$225 per day. The annual compensation for pro
tempore service may not exceed the difference
between the retired justice's or judge's
annual retirement pay and the current annual
base salary of a justice or judge of the court
from which the justice or judge retired. The
retired justice or judge is also entitled to
receive full medical insurance coverage during
the same period. The retired justice or judge
is not entitled to personal, annual, or sick
leave benefits, and acceptance of an
appointment pro tempore acts as a waiver of
any claim to such benefits. For an
appointment of over 90 consecutive days, such
leave may be granted at the discretion of the
administrative director upon confirmation by
the chief justice.
