(1) Jury trials shall be scheduled in the Pulaski District Court on the fourth and fifth Fridays of each month.
(2) In the event of a backlog of cases awaiting jury trial, which in the opinion of the District Judge, constitutes an obstacle to the orderly and prompt administration of justice, cases may be set for jury trials on such other days as the Court may designate.
D. NON-JURY TRIALS
(1) Civil and Criminal cases to be tried by the Court without a jury may be set for trial at any time convenient to the Court.
