99-Year-Old US Circuit Judge's Fitness Dispute Moved to New Court

Original: US Circuit Judge, 99, gets fitness dispute moved to new court

A legal fight over whether a 99-year-old US Circuit Court judge is fit to continue serving has been transferred to a different court, according to a Reuters report picked up by financial news feeds. The dispute centers on the veteran jurist's capacity to hold office at an advanced age, and the case's reassignment keeps the unusual question of judicial fitness in play rather than resolving it. Details of the judge's identity and the parties involved were not included in the reports.

Why now: A court battle questioning whether a sitting federal judge can serve at age 99 is an extraordinary and rare event.
