Rule IX. Trial Terms

   A. Any case which is to be tried to the court may be assigned by the court to a trial term.

   (1) All counsel and persons having cases set for trial during a trial term shall be ready for trial whenever called during the next and all subsequent trial terms.

   (2) The court’s bailiff will maintain a current list of cases set for trial during the judge’s trial terms. Cases set for trial during a trial term will be called up for trial in the order as set forth by the court.
