Rule jsc-25. Guardian ad litem.

If at any time after the commencement of a proceeding under these rules, either: A. A judge is adjudicated by a court to require a guardian ad litem in any matter; or B. Substantial evidence is presented to the Commission that a judge is, or may be, incapable, for any reason, to understand the proceedings before the Commission or to present a defense in such proceedings; then the Commission may appoint the guardian ad litem appointed by a court or may separately appoint a guardian ad litem to act on the judge’s behalf during the proceedings. If the judge disputes the appointment of a guardian ad litem to act on the judge’s behalf, the Commission shall hold a hearing with a presiding officer who is a district court judge and may petition the Supreme Court for an order of appointment. C. The Commission shall bear the costs, if any, associated with the appointment of a guardian ad litem.
