Rule 19. Non-Adjournment of Term (1943)

TEXT

Every term of court shall commence and convene by operation of law at the time fixed by statute without any act, order, or formal opening by a judge or other official thereof, and shall continue to be open at all times until and including the last day of the term unless sooner adjourned by the judge thereof.

Change: The former rule has been reversed because of the growing prevalence of so-called continuous terms.

Amended by order of June 16, 1943, eff. Dec. 31, 1943.
