W.Va. Trial. Ct. R. 17.05

As amended through January 31, 2024
Rule 17.05 - Challenge to Disqualification Rulings

All rulings and orders relating to the recusal or disqualification of a judge shall be considered interlocutory in nature and not subject to direct or immediate appeal. This rule shall not, however, prohibit any party from seeking or using redress available by writ of prohibition, mandamus, or any other appropriate extraordinary writ as may be necessary to assure compliance with these rules by a circuit court judge. This rule is not intended to provide a means to challenge an interlocutory ruling by the Chief Justice on such disqualification issues.
