                        CHIEF JUDGE                                              
                                                                                 
    The judges of each division will select its Chief Judge. Generally the       
judge of each division having the shortest term to serve not holding his         
office by appointment or election to fill a vacancy shall be the Chief           
Judge and in case there shall be two judges having the same short term, the      
other judges of the division shall determine which of them shall be Chief        
Judge. In a division having more than four judges, the Chief Judge shall         
assign the judges to panels.
