Sup. Ct. R. D.C. 40

COMMENT TO 2018 AMENDMENT

Rule 40 was deleted because assignment procedures are better left to the court's case management plan, internal operating procedures, and administrative orders. The elimination of this rule does not affect the ability of a party to file a motion asking the Presiding Judge to certify a case to the Domestic I Calendar based on the estimated length of trial, the number of witnesses who may appear or exhibits that may be introduced, the nature of the factual and legal issues involved, the extent to which discovery may require supervision by the court, the number of motions that may be filed, and any other relevant factor appropriate for the orderly administration of justice.
