Assignment of Motions
The same pretrial judge handles all motions in a Track I, II, or III case, through the track-allotted discovery period plus 60 days (see R. 4:24 -1). Thereafter, motions may be heard by the Civil Presiding Judge or his or her designee. Illness, vacation or transfer out of the Civil Division will necessitate an exception to the above rule. Motions to amend pleadings and add parties, as well as pro hac vice motions and motions to consolidate, are handled by the designated pretrial judge through the track-allotted discovery period plus 60 days (see R. 4:24- 1). Thereafter, such motions may be heard by the Civil Presiding Judge or his or her designee. See R. 1:6-2.
