“Subject To” / “Ready Hold” Markings
Unless an attorney is actually on his or her feet before another judge, that attorney may be expected to appear for trial before any other judge, absent exceptional circumstances. As a general rule, if two ready cases handled by the same attorney will be
reached for trial on the same day, the older case takes precedence. In some instances, however, as when the younger case involves witnesses who have traveled a considerable distance to testify, the younger case will take precedence. Such conflicts should be worked out reasonably by the Civil Presiding Judges involved or their designees. It is essential, therefore, that attorneys advise the Presiding Judge as soon as they know that a conflict is likely.
