南卡罗来纳州最高法院已取消Paul M. Burch法官在2025年1月1日开始的第四司法巡回审判中审理刑事和相关民事案件的资格,原因是他儿子最近当选为巡回审判律师。 The South Carolina Supreme Court has disqualified Judge Paul M. Burch from presiding over criminal and related civil cases in the 4th Judicial Circuit starting January 1, 2025, due to his son's recent election as the circuit's solicitor. 这一行动遵循了州法律,即当家庭成员参与案件时,法官将丧失资格。 This move follows a state law that disqualifies judges when family members are involved in cases. 布尔奇法官仍然能够处理该地区无关的民事案件。 Judge Burch can still handle unrelated civil cases in the region.
