Article IV, § 15 — Judges ad litem; limitation and expiration of commission; compensation; persons not disqualified

The Governor shall have power to commission a judge or judges ad litem to sit in any cause in any of the Courts when by reason of legal exception to the Judges authorized to sit therein, or for other cause, there are not a sufficient number of Judges available to hold such Court. The commission in such case shall confine the office to the cause and it shall expire on the determination of the cause. The judge so appointed shall receive reasonable compensation to be fixed by the General Assembly. A member of Congress, or any person holding or exercising an office under the United States, shall not be disqualified from being appointed a judge ad litem.
