The judge presiding over my civil case has recently died from a prolonged illness that was unknown to us. What happens now? I am planing on transitioning into a pro se litigant and need to file emergency injunction against my adversary asap. This is not a request for legal advise just trying to figure out what to expect.Federal judges dies during civil case?
This is what will happen: another judge will be assigned to the case and he/she will have no clue what's going on; and you'll have to start all over again.
Of course the new judge will read the court records but those records don't have the personal opinion, and notes of the original judge. So this could hurt you if you were ';winning'; in the mid of the former judge, but in the other side this could help you if you were losing.
