5.2 Attorneys should proceed on the assumption that all cases on the Trial Calendar will be tried at the scheduled session unless resolved by consent order or dismissal. When there is more than one ongoing civil session of court, a case may be called for trial by any presiding judge.

5.3 If a case is settled after placement on any Trial Calendar, all attorneys of record MUST notify the Court Coordinator within twenty-four (24) hours, and advise who will prepare, complete, and submit to the Court Coordinator a Case Settlement Report substantially similar to Appendix D; and shall notify the parties appearing in the next case on the Trial Calendar of the settlement.
