Beginning in 2012 and every three years thereafter, the Chief Justice shall designate a judge of the Division to serve as its Chair to preside over the activities of the Division and to report to the Supreme Court of Appeals. There is no prohibition against serving successive terms, either as judge or as Chair of the Division.
