Rule 8 Assignment of civil cases
The Clerk shall in the presence of at least one of the Judges of the Court prepare a set of fifty (50) cards. There shall be written on the back of one-half of said cards the words “Division I” and on the other half of said cards the words “Division II”. The cards shall then be thoroughly mixed or shuffled so that the sequence will be entirely by chance. The cards shall be placed in the container face down in such a manner that no one can see the number of the division on the card which will be drawn next.
Whenever a suit is commenced, the Clerk, in the presence of the attorney filing the complaint, or in his absence in the presence of another Clerk, shall remove the top card of the set and assign the case to the Division shown on that card, putting the card drawn in another closed compartment for subsequent re-use.
After all cards have been drawn the cards shall be reshuffled and again placed in the container for a repetition of the above process.
