Latest version.
  • It shall be the duty of the
      first judicial district to provide suitable places for holding court  in
      accordance  with  the  designation  made  by  the  board  of  judges  as
      hereinbefore provided. The judges assigned by the board shall hold court
      in one or more parts in each district as established, and on  such  days
      as  fixed  by  said  board  and at places provided by the first judicial
      district or, in the event of failure to  provide  such  places,  at  any
      places  designated  by the board of judges. If there is only one part of
      the court in a district, the office of the clerk of  such  district  and
      the  place  for  holding the court thereof may be located outside of the
      district provided it is within fifteen  hundred  feet  of  the  district
      boundary  line.  Civil,  small  claims  and criminal matters filed, made
      returnable, processed or tried in such  clerk's  office  or  places  for
      holding court designated by the board of judges and located outside of a
      district  as  herein  provided,  shall  be  deemed  for purposes of this
      charter to have been filed, made returnable, processed or tried  in  the
      district  for  which  such office or courthouse was provided. During the
      months of July and August at  least  one  part  of  the  court  in  each
      district  shall  be  in session at least three days in each week to hear
      civil and criminal cases, and shall try summary proceedings, actions for
      wages and, on good cause shown, other actions where the  rights  of  the
      parties may be jeopardized by delay, and such other actions as the court
      may  deem proper to be tried; and except for illness each judge shall be
      available for service as assigned by the board of judges  during  eleven
      months  of  the  year. The president of the board of judges shall assign
      any judge or judges of the district court to perform without  additional
      compensation  the  duties of acting police justice in any village within
      the first judicial district upon the request of the  board  of  trustees
      thereof.
