Rule 50 Calendars; plans for prompt disposition

The court keeps a schedule of criminal cases and tries to move them forward as quickly as possible. Criminal cases get priority over other types of cases when scheduling.

The court also regularly studies how the criminal justice system is working. Based on that study, the court makes plans to help move criminal cases along without unnecessary delays.

If you have a criminal case in Delaware Superior Court, this rule means the court is actively working to avoid long waits. The goal is to resolve your case in a timely way rather than letting it sit for months or years without action.
