RULE 6.
SETTING CASES FOR TRIAL
A. Requests for trial settings in civil cases will be
heard on Law and Motion Day at the time they are regularly
noted for setting, upon proper written notice filed with the
Clerk of the Court.
B. Civil cases will not be set for trial unless
issues are fully joined, and all pleadings of the parties
have been filed.
C. The notice of trial setting shall contain the
nature of the cause, estimated length of trial, available
trial dates, and names and addresses of attorneys for the
parties and shall be signed by the attorney filing it, with
the designation of the party represented.
D. When a notice for trial assignment comes on for
hearing and a party demands or has demanded a jury, the
demand should be accompanied with a deposit of the jury fee.
Otherwise, a jury will be deemed waived, and the cause will
be set for trial to the Court. If a jury is demanded and
the jury fee is paid, the case will be set for trail at the
next regular jury term setting.
E. Notice of trial dates shall be given to all
counsel of record by the Clerk of the Court, and such
setting shall be deemed binding if no formal objection is
filed within 7 days thereof.
F. The Omnibus Hearing and pre-trial and trial dates
for criminal matters shall be set at the time of
arraignment, unless otherwise specifically provided by the Court.
