Section 2403. Districts and number of judges therein  


Latest version.
  • The county district
      court system shall be divided into judicial districts  as  follows:  The
      entire  district  court  system  shall  constitute  the  first  judicial
      district in which one district court judge shall be elected.  Each  town
      electing  to  become  part  of  the district court system, including the
      three or more towns establishing the system,  shall  constitute  another
      judicial  district,  provided,  however, that any two or more contiguous
      towns electing to become part of the district court system which have  a
      combined  total  population of less than sixty thousand according to the
      last census,  shall  constitute  one  judicial  district,  but  provided
      further,  that if any of such towns shall thereafter attain a population
      greater  than  thirty  thousand,  such  town  shall  constitute  another
      judicial  district. In each judicial district there shall be elected one
      district court judge. The supervisors elected in  the  towns  comprising
      the first judicial district may, upon the recommendation of the board of
      judges  of  the district courts, increase the number of judges in all or
      any one of the districts provided that such new judicial post  or  posts
      shall  be  filled  for a full term at the next general election held not
      less than three months after the creation thereof. For  the  purpose  of
      electing  such  judges and for the purpose of determining the boundaries
      of such districts, any city hereafter created from the territory of  any
      town shall be considered to be part of that town.
