Illinois Transfer Order Substitution of Judge/Refusal is a legal procedure used in the state of Illinois when a judge is disqualified from a case for any reason. This procedure allows the court to transfer the case to another judge or to a different court or agency. There are three types of Illinois Transfer Order Substitution of Judge/Refusal: mandatory substitution, discretionary substitution, and disqualification. Mandatory Substitution occurs when the law requires the case to be transferred to another judge. This generally happens when a judge has a personal conflict of interest or a bias in the case. Discretionary Substitution occurs when the parties involved in the case or a court order requests that the case be transferred to another judge. This can happen if the parties involved in the case believe that the current judge is not impartial or if they believe that the current judge has a personal bias in the case. Disqualification occurs when a judge is disqualified from a case due to misconduct or malpractice. This can occur if the judge fails to follow the proper procedure, shows bias in the case, or is found to be in violation of the judicial code of conduct.
