§ 200.22 Assignment of criminal actions

Here's a plain English summary:

When a criminal case goes to a court term, it gets handed to a judge based on rules set by the Chief Administrator of the Courts. This means there's an official system in place for deciding which judge will hear which case, rather than judges picking their own cases or defendants choosing their judge.

This rule matters because it helps keep the process fair. Cases are assigned through a set method instead of random chance or personal choice, which helps prevent any appearance of favoritism in how judges get matched with cases.
