A. Any civil case in which the pleadings have been completed, or should have been completed, as to all parties who are not in default for failure to plead shall be eligible for assignment for trial on a day certain. Assignment of a case for trial shall be made by the Judge of the Division to which such case has been assigned, which assignment shall be made in accordance with CR 40, on motion of any of the parties, or on the Court's own motions.

B. Assignment of a case for trial at a pre-trial conference which has been convened in accordance with other provisions of these rules shall be deemed to have been made on the Court's own motion, and the parties shall be deemed to have been given proper notice thereof.

C. Motions to set cases for trial and notice of such motions will be governed by the provisions of these Rules pertaining in general to motions; however, if any attorney, who would oppose the motion does not appear after due notice, the case may be set for trial at that time for any date of earliest convenience to the Court under these Rules, with agreement of the parties or their counsel present on the noticed date. Failure of counsel (who may oppose such trial date) to appear will be considered a waiver of any objections to the date set.

E. The secretary of each Judge will keep available, for personal or telephonic inquiry, a calendar showing dates and times that such Judge has for the trial of jury and non-jury cases. Parties may, by agreed order, set cases for trial, in lieu of submitting a motion to set at motion day.

F. Once a trial date has been set, neither party shall be granted a continuance unless the Court is satisfied that the reasons were both unavoidable and unforeseeable on the setting date.
