Recently, I blogged about changes in the Civil Division in Montgomery County Court of Common Pleas. Previously, I blogged on other significant changes.
Now in order for cases to be handled more efficiently, there have been additional changes. Previously I blogged regarding Montgomery County's Judicial assignments for Civil cases. Throughout the years, in addition to Judges in the Civil Division being assigned to handle pre-trial matters, it has rotated between judges in the Family, Criminal, Orphans Court and Juvenile division. That has now changed.
Effective immediately only Judges in the Civil Division will be pre-trial judges for Civil cases. If you had a case that had a Family, Orphans or Juvenile Court Judge assigned then that case has already been reassigned to one of the five Civil Judges. Check the dockets for your new assigned Judge. This is a great change and will provide needed continuity.
