On December 31, 2020, Chief Judge Linda Marie Bell of the Eighth Judicial District Court (EJDC) filed an administrative order in the matter of civil/criminal division case reassignments, family division case reassignments, and the suspension of local guardianship rules. See Administrative Order 20-25.
Effective January 4, 2021, the order modifies case assignments for many judicial departments, lists the Criminal In-Custody Calendars, Criminal Out-Custody Calendars, and Lower Level Arraignment Schedule, and modifies certain provisions of Administrative Order 18-09 and removes minor guardianship cases from the “one judge, one family” rules.
