The Judiciary:

There are eleven judges in the General Division elected to six-year terms. Each judge has an office staff consisting of a bailiff, a court reporter or judicial assistant, and a staff attorney. Equal numbers of civil and criminal cases are randomly assigned to each judge. Once assigned, the case remains the responsibility of the assigned judge until its termination. All matters such as motions, hearings, settlement conferences, plus the trial, are the responsibility of the assigned judge.
