     78-3-14.2.   District court case management.
     (1) The district court of each district shall develop systems of case management.
     (2) The case management systems developed by a district court shall:
     (a) ensure judicial accountability for the just and timely disposition of cases;
     (b) provide for each judge a full judicial work load that accommodates differences in the subject matter or complexity of cases assigned to different judges; and
     (c) provide that judges of the district court and judges of the court formerly denominated the circuit court who took office prior to July 1, 1991, are entitled to be assigned only cases from the subject matter jurisdiction of their respective courts as that jurisdiction existed on June 30, 1996. If the volume of such cases does not constitute a full work load, other cases shall be assigned.
     (3) A district court may establish divisions within the court for the efficient management of different types of cases. The existence of divisions within the court may not affect the jurisdiction of the court nor the validity of court orders. The existence of divisions within the court may not impede public access to the courts.
