Rule 44-12. Control of Scheduling

The judicial authority, acting through the clerk, shall control the time and the manner of scheduling all proceedings in criminal cases and shall have the cooperation of the prosecuting authority and defense counsel in carrying out their responsibilities under Sections 44-11 and 44-12. The clerk of the court shall file a written report with the court periodically, as directed by the judicial authority, indicating the age and the status of each pending case, including whether the defendant is being held in custody pending trial and, if so, how long he or she has been held in custody. The clerk shall consult with the prosecuting authority and defense counsel in matters of scheduling so that such clerk may be aware of and advise the judicial authority of any factors affecting the orderly movement of cases.
