Rules 2.830-2.834 apply to attorneys designated as temporary judges under article VI, section 21 of the California Constitution at the request of the parties rather than by prior appointment of the court, including privately compensated temporary judges and attorneys who serve as temporary judges pro bono at the request of the parties.
"Privately compensated" means that the temporary judge is paid by the parties.
These rules do not apply to subordinate judicial officers or to attorneys who are appointed by the court to serve as temporary judges for the court.
