All motions must be scheduled by calling the judicial assistant, who will provide the argument date and time.

When filing a motion, all motions (pre-trial and otherwise) must be scheduled by calling the judicial assistant who will provide a date and time for argument.

WARNING

Counsel must advise the court in writing of future jury-trial engagements; the court generally avoids conflicting day-calendar settings but may make exceptions when circumstances warrant.

Counsel are required to keep the court advised in writing of future engagements in the trial of jury cases so that day calendars may be prepared that will not result in conflicts with engagements in other courts. When so advised, the court, as a general rule, will refrain from placing a case on the day calendar that will result in such a conflict. Exceptions to such general rule may be made when the circumstances, in the court's judgment, warrant such action.
