To ensure fairness in all trials, the Provincial Court exclusively controls the assignment of judges to cases. If a litigant genuinely believes that a particular judge assigned to hear his or her case would not be able to do so impartially, the litigant may apply to that judge for an order disqualifying that judge from hearing the case on the grounds of a reasonable apprehension of bias. These applications are made in open court, and are on the record. See similar questions...

A judge is chosen by an idea creator (often they choose themselves) to determine the outcome for a specific idea. They get to choose the winning solution for an idea and reject ideas as they are submitted. They can also close an idea without a winner (eg. all the snow melted before someone could build a 20-foot snowman). Judges wield a lot of power so choose them wisely. See similar questions...
