What constitutes notice for a change of judge?

When a party seeks to change the judge, proper notice is required so the court and all parties understand what is being requested and can respond. The correct approach allows either a written notice filed with the court or an oral request made on the record. Importantly, the notice must include identifying information about the judge being changed, so everyone knows exactly which judge is in question. This keeps the process transparent and timely, giving the court a clear basis to consider the request. Limiting notice to written form only, or saying oral requests aren’t allowed, or claiming no notice is needed would undermine fairness and proper procedure.
