D. Md. L.R. 501.1
In General
This Rule governs the assignment of cases to judges of the Court and among the two (2)
divisions of the Court. It is a rule of administrative convenience, and it is not intended to,
nor does it, confer any rights upon any litigant. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Rule,
the Court may assign a case to a judge in a division other than the one specified in this Rule.
All cases will be assigned to one (1) of the judges of the Court. With the exception of
cases referred to magistrate judges, all proceedings in a particular case will usually be held
before the judge to whom that case is assigned.
