Rule 3.734
Assignment to one judge for all or limited purposes
Case Management
Rule Text
The presiding judge may, on the noticed motion of a party or on the court's own motion, order the assignment of any case to one judge for all or such limited purposes as will promote the efficient administration of justice.
Plain-English Summary (for reference only — not a substitute for the rule text above)
A court can assign one judge to handle your entire case, or just certain parts of it. This can happen because a party asks for it or because the court decides on its own.
The goal is to make the court process run more smoothly. Having one judge who knows the details of your case can help avoid delays and repeated explanations when hearings come up.
