XXXIII Pt. I § 1 Purpose

Here's a plain-English summary:

This rule sets up a system where one judge handles a family's case from start to finish, instead of passing it between different judges. The goal is to move child abuse, neglect, and other juvenile cases through the court system as quickly as possible.

By keeping the same judge on a case, families don't have to repeat their story to different people or deal with delays caused by switching judges. This judge gets to know the family's situation and can make decisions faster because they already understand the background.

For anyone involved in one of these cases, this means more consistency. You'll work with the same judge throughout the process, which can help things move along without unnecessary holdups.
