(a) General. There shall be established
for all civil actions and proceedings heard in city courts and individual

proceeding shall be assigned and heard pursuant to the individual assignment
system.

shall be made by the clerk of the court pursuant to a method of selection
prescribed by the Chief Administrator. The judge thereby assigned shall be
known as the "assigned judge" with respect to that matter and, except as
otherwise provided in subdivision (c) of this section, shall conduct all
further proceedings therein.
(c) Exceptions.
(1) Where the requirements of matters
already assigned to a judge are such as to limit the ability of that judge to
handle additional cases, the Chief Administrator may authorize that new
assignments to that judge be suspended until the judge is able to handle
additional cases.
(2)
The Chief Administrator may authorize the establishment in any court of special
categories of actions and proceedings, for assignment to judges specially
assigned to hear such actions or proceedings.
(3) Matters requiring immediate
disposition may be assigned to a judge designated to hear such matters when the
assigned judge is not available.
