How is the scheduling of complex cases – cases in Track 4 Criminal, Civil, Business & Technology and ASTAR (Complex Science/Medicine) – arranged?
Complex cases are automatically assigned on a rotating basis to the judges sitting in the Criminal, Civil, Business & Technology and ASTAR rotations. An original scheduling order is produced setting the track guidelines. The assigned judge’s staff schedules all necessary events directly with the parties and/or counsel and notifies the Assignment Office of all scheduled events for posting in the Court’s system.
