Alabama Supreme Court Justices Plan to Recuse Themselves in Moore Case

MONTGOMERY—The eight remaining associate justices of the Alabama Supreme Court plan to recuse themselves in Chief Justice Roy Moore’s appeal, the Court said in an opinion issued Monday evening. Moore previously requested the justices recuse themselves.

The justices said they will wait to recuse themselves until a Special Supreme Court is seated to hear Moore’s case.

Acting Chief Justice Lyn Stuart and Gov. Robert Bentley will gather a pool of 50 retired Alabama judges.

The pool of 50 judges will be gathered at random from all of Alabama’s retired appellate judges and justices, retired circuit judges and retired district judges. All of the judges must still be members of the State Bar Association, reside in Alabama and “be capable of serving as judges.”
