Committee of Chief Judges
The Supreme Court appoints a chief judge for each of the ten judicial administrative districts (see map) to oversee administrative matters and is assisted by a district court administrator. The duties and authority of the chief judge is specified under SCR 70.19, 70.20 and 70.21 
. Each chief judge may serve up to three consecutive two-year terms. SCR 70.26 authorizes a chief judge to appoint a deputy chief judge. The chief judges meet approximately seven times per year. As needed, the chief judges convene subcommittees to consider issues and problems facing the trial courts.
