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.
