Random assignments
(a) Subject to the provisions of this rule, all civil cases shall be randomly assigned to departments designated by the chief judge to hear civil cases.
(b) If multiple summary eviction cases involving the same tenant have been filed within a 3-month period, the current filing will be tracked to the judicial department that corresponds to the case with the lowest case number. If there are no prior summary eviction cases involving the same tenant within the last 3 months, the current case will be randomly assigned.
(c) The chief judge shall have the power to assign a case or categories of cases to a specific department.
(d) If a justice of the peace has recused or has been disqualified, the case will be randomly assigned to another justice of the peace.
(e) When the transfer of a case to another department is necessary, it shall be the primary responsibility of the transferring judge and his or her staff to arrange the transfer to another, randomly chosen, department with the agreement of the new department. In the event that the department cannot successfully transfer the case, the matter shall be referred to the chief judge for resolution or reassignment.
(f) Protection order actions shall be governed by the provisions of Rule 42.
