The Judicial Inquiry Commission has considered your request for an opinion concerning
whether a judge is disqualified from sitting in a criminal proceeding or a civil proceeding
where the prosecuting witness or the plaintiff is the daughter of a retired Judge of the
circuit. Your specific question is whether the relationship of the prosecutrix to the
retired Circuit Judge would prohibit or disqualify all other Circuit Judges of the Circuit
from presiding over either of these trials.
