LC 3426 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Generally revise laws applicable to district courts

This bill amends Montana law to establish clearer rules for organizing courts in districts with multiple judges. It requires judges in these districts to divide the court into numbered departments and assign each judge to one department. The law also allows judges in districts with more than five judges to create specialized dockets for specific types of cases. Additionally, it gives the Montana Supreme Court the authority to intervene if judges fail to divide work fairly, ensuring balanced caseloads across the district.
