§ 17-153.1. (a) There shall be an additional judge for the Hustings
Court of the city of Richmond with like qualification and to be elected in
the same manner as the other judge of said court. The powers, duties,
jurisdiction and authority of said additional judge, except as hereinafter
provided, shall be the same as now or hereinafter provided by law for the
other judge of said court and may be exercised at the same time as the
other judge of said court is exercising the powers conferred upon him.

(b) The provisions of § 17-137.1 of the Code of Virginia shall apply
mutatis mutandis to the original election or appointment of said additional
judge.

(c) The appointment of guardians ad litem and receivers, and any
other appointments incident to the trial, hearing or disposition of any
judicial proceeding may be made by any judge of said court except where
a judge has begun presiding in any such proceeding, in which event such
judge shall make the appointment.

(d) Appointments to fill any public office or any vacancy of any public
office shall be made by the senior judge of said court.

(e) The judge of said court longest in continuous service shall be the
senior judge of said court. The senior judge shall have authority to assign
the work of said court as between the judges thereof, the entry of an order
being unnecessary for such assignment, and, except as herein provided,
the other judge, during his tenure, shall have the same powers and duties
of the senior judge.

) The salary of said additional judge of said court shall be as
prescribed by law.
