Description

RABINOWITZ, Chief Justice. OPINION. This is another case in which we consider whether a litigant has waived her right to a peremptory challenge of the Judge assigned to her case. Here, we find no waiver and thereby set aside the order of the superior court holding that Schmid waived her right to challenge Judge Hanson. In Alaska, under AS 22.20.022, a litigant has a right to one peremptory challenge of a Judge assigned to the case. The procedure for peremptory challenges in civil litigation is set forth in Civil Rule 42(c). This rule in part provides that the to file a timely notice precludes change of Judge as a matter of right. Alaska R. Civ. P. 42(c)(3). Thus, before reaching the question of waiver, we must first determine whether the challenge was timely filed.
