at Pretrial If the pretrial does not result in the disposition of the case by settlement, judgment by stipula- tion, or withdrawal, then the judicial authority may (1) continue the matter for a reasonable period if the parties agree to participate in any form of alternative dispute resolution, (2) enter appro- priate orders to assure that the case is readied for trial, (3) order the case assigned for trial on a date certain or a week certain in the future or, (4) assign the case to a specific judge for trial on a date certain. The date designated for trial shall, if possible, be agreeable to the parties. (P.B. 1978-1997, Sec. 264.)
