Attorneys are obliged to manage their calendars so as to prevent conflicting assignments before different Judges. Judges will attempt to honor prior settings when called to their attention. In case of conflict, the case first set enjoys priority, and the attorney must immediately upon discovery of a subsequent conflict see the Judge and opposing counsel in joint conference for a new date. Repeated conflict scheduling by counsel will be deemed a per se willful violation of these rules.

When a matter unexpectedly holds over and cannot be recessed to accommodate another court appearance, involved counsel shall immediately, in as far in advance as possible, inform the involved Judge and counsel so their inconvenience may be minimized. Additionally if, after a matter has been docketed with the Court and a time limit scheduled therefore, counsel is/becomes aware or it is anticipated that a hearing is going to take greater time than previously allowed on the court calendar, the attorney/attorneys with said knowledge shall immediately inform the court and any opposing counsel.
