Judicial witness protection limits compulsory questioning of judges and magistrates while allowing evidence about other events they witnessed.
Judges and Magistrates cannot be compelled to answer questions about their judicial conduct or matters learned in court while acting in that capacity, unless a subordinate court issues a special order. They may, however, be examined regarding other events that occurred in their presence while acting judicially. Questions concerning an allegedly improper deposition or statements made before a Magistrate require a superior court's special order.
