Automatic Judge Assignment

The automatic judge assignment feature (which you activate from Case Initiation Maintenance [CMAINIT]) assigns judges either:

• At random (without regard to the number of cases, complexity of cases, or percentage of time the judge works) or

• By weighted case load (equally distributes cases across judges based on case complexity).

To use this feature, the person responsible for setting up your system must:

1. Indicate the type of assignment on the System Control form (COASYSC):

• Select the radio button for the type of assignment (Random Assignment, Weighted Assignment, or No Automatic Judge Assignment).

• Save.

2. Define each judge’s case types on the Calendar Profile form (CSAPROF):

• Identify the judge whose case types will be defined.

• Enter the types of cases (along with courts and locations assigned with the case types) heard by the specified judge.

• Save.
