Legal Question in Workers Comp in California
I went to a WC workshop with 1 question... Why after 3 hearings with same Judge are they appointing a new Judge for my Trial?
The person overseeing the WC workshop class told me ... the same judge that hears the hearings cannot preside over the trial. Is this true?

If "the hearings" you mention were Mandatory Settlement Conferences, then YES, the Information & Assistance officer is correct:
The MSC Judge cannot be the Trial Judge.
