Local Rule RULE 1072-4: CALENDARS
Bankr. N.D. Ill. — General rule
RULE 1072-4 CALENDARS A. General Bankruptcy cases, adversary proceedings, and other proceedings assigned to a judge constitute the judge's calendar.
B. Calendar of a Judge Who Dies, Resigns, or Retires When a judge dies, resigns, or retires, the clerk must reassign the judge's calendar as soon as possible under the chief judge's direction. The reassignment must either be pro rata by lot among the remaining judges or as necessary to promote efficient judicial administration.
C. Calendar of a Newly Appointed Judge When a judge is first appointed, the clerk must create a calendar to which the clerk will transfer cases under the chief judge's direction, either by lot from the calendars of other judges or by transfer in whole or part of the calendar of a judge who has died, retired, or resigned. If transfer is by lot from the calendars of other sitting judges, a case or proceeding may not be transferred if the assigned judge certifies that reassignment would adversely affect the matter's efficient disposition.
