If the Senate tries the Chief Justice, it would follow the procedure used in most impeachment trials. The presiding officer of the Senate or an appointed "Impeachment Trial Committee" would preside, or act as judge, and the other Senators would serve as the jury.This procedure is used for the removal trial of allofficials except the US President, and became legal practice in 1986 when the Senate amended its rules and procedures for impeachment trials. The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court only presides over the impeachment trial of a US President.

The Senate holds the (impeachment) removal trial after the House of Representatives has impeached the president. The Chief Justice of the United States (Supreme Court) only presides over the Senate impeachment trial of a US President; otherwise, the Presiding Officer of the Senate chooses a group of Senators to form an "Impeachment Trial Committee" to act as presiding judges. Certain members of the House of Representatives chosen by it act as prosecutors.
Does the vice-president always acts as judge in an impeachment trial?
As President of the Senate, the U.S. Vice President presides over most impeachment trials. However, Article I, Section 3, Clause 6 of the U.S. Constitution specifies that when the President is on trial the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court presides. And although the Constitution doesn't say, I assume that would also be the case if the Vice President were the defendant in an impeachment trial (an incumbent U.S. Vice President has never been impeached to date).
Who presides over the impeachment trial if the president or the vice president is impeached?
