Department 6 will continue to have a criminal assignment, remain on the homicide team, and continue to serve on the Outlying Track of the Criminal Case Flow Model. One-third of the open and one-third of the closed non-homicide criminal cases in the outlying criminal track will be randomly reassigned to Department 10.
Department 9 will continue to have a criminal assignment, remain on the homicide team, and continue to serve on the Outlying Track of the Criminal Case Flow Model. One-third of the open and one-third of the closed non-homicide criminal cases in the outlying criminal track will be randomly reassigned to Department 10. Department 9 will continue to preside over MAT Re-Entry Court along with Department 2.
Department 10 will continue to have a criminal assignment and remain the homicide team case management judge.

Department 11 will have a civil and criminal assignment. Department 11 will replace Department 10 in Track 3 of the Criminal Case Flow Model. Forty percent of all civil cases currently assigned to this department will be randomly reassigned to all other civil departments in proportion to the currently established caseloads for each department. The remaining 60% of all civil cases will remain in Department 11.
