Rule 9 Assignment of criminal cases
Indictments shall be assigned to the Division of the Court corresponding to the number of the indictment, with odd numbered indictments being assigned to Division I and even numbered indictments being assigned to Division II. Each Judge, however, shall be authorized, without entry of any formal order, to conduct hearings concerning routine procedures on all indictments, including, for example, arraignments, hearing motions for bail and the accepting of guilty pleas. Each Judge may try a case assigned to the other Judge with the approval of the Judge to which the case was originally assigned.
Motions prior to trial shall ordinarily be assigned to the Judge to which the case is assigned, but, as mentioned above, the Judge of the other Court may hear same for the convenience of the parties and the Court. Motions for post-conviction relief shall be filed with the Division which heard the case.
