Superior Court has launched a new Web initiative for civil case management. New Castle County Resident Judge Richard R. Cooch led the initiative and consulted with the DSBA’s Litigation Section on their needs for the project. He developed the initial project guidelines and was the first to have his civil case management preferences published. Our Judicial Officers’ Preferences section provides detailed information about individual judge’s and commissioner's particular practices and procedures for civil case management in an effort further to assist attorneys.
