Rule 1002-1. [ABROGATED]

[Effective April 15, 1997. Amended effective January 1, 2002; January 9, 2006; February 22, 2012; May 1, 2019. Abrogated effective July 17, 2023.]

2023 Advisory Committee Notes Local Rule 1002-1 was abrogated because it no longer reflects the way that cases are processed by the clerk's office; the rule number is reserved for possible future use. The clerk's office used to process cases by city (Minneapolis, St. Paul, Duluth, or Fergus Falls) and that is no longer the practice. Now, cases from any division may be processed in any clerk's office. In addition, the case assignment process has changed, with cases automatically assigned to a division when they are opened based on the county identified in the petition. Relevant portions of former Local Rule 1002-1 that addressed case assignment now appear in Local Rule 1073-1, Assignment of Cases.
