1:00 p.m. until 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, unless otherwise ordered by
the trial judge.  Special sessions of any court may be held on Saturday, or at

all matters that such judge sets for hearing before him/her and at such hours
upon said day as the judge shall fix.

     (2)  Duty of Attorney.  Trials will begin promptly.  Trial attorneys are
required to report directly to the trial judge one-half hour prior to the

court from January 1 until December 31 of each year.

     (2)  Jury Terms.  Jury trials, both civil and criminal, shall be set
throughout the year.

     (k)  Motion Day - Local Rules.

     (1)  Schedules.  A copy of court dockets and hearing days is posted in the
clerk's office, and a copy may be requested from superior court administration.
Provided, however, in the event a legal holiday prevents the conduct of a
docket or hearing day, the same may, on the order of the presiding judge, be
rescheduled and notice thereof posted prominently in the clerk's office.

     (2)  Hearing Assignment.  With the court's approval, any matter set on a
motion docket may be assigned a specific date and time for hearing.

special order of the court.

     (4)  Presentation of Papers.  At the commencement of hearing on each
