Perek II begins with a new Mishna. It teaches that in cases of monetary law, three judges must be chosen where each litigant chooses one judge and then they agree on the third or those two judges choose the third. Perhaps judges can be disqualified, particularly if they are not qualified to judge or if they are a relative of the litigant.
