Abstract:
Providing a complete history of North Carolina’s District Courts entailed going back than the widely celebrated year of origin. With 1955, its true starting point, as a reference, the author traced the District Court’s history by first examining the Bell Commission’s role in this District Court’s creation and participation in the state’s 1959, 1961, and 1963 General Assemblies. Acknowledging the Bell Commission’s momentous role led into his examination of the Court Commission’s role from 1963-1989 and Futures Commission’s role from 1994-1997.

Abstract:
It is commonly believed that one trial judge may not overrule another. The rule is more complicated than this simple phrase implies. Judges often consider matters previously reviewed by another judge, especially in superior court where regular rotation of judges is the norm. Generally, one trial judge should not change the legal ruling of another judge. This bulletin explains when modification of another judge's order is allowed and when it is not. This Bulletin updates Administration of Justice Bulletin #2008/02.

Abstract:
In North Carolina the commonly stated rule, for both criminal and civil cases in both superior and district court, is that a judgment or order affecting substantial rights may not be entered without the consent of the parties (1) after the session of court has expired, or (2) while the judge is out of the county or district. Actually, there are many instances when orders may be entered out-of-session and out-of-county, especially in civil cases. This bulletin describes the instances when court orders may be entered out-of-term, out-of-session, and out-of-county.

Abstract:
This memorandum reviews the current law on searches of people who are in custody, emphasizing the kinds of facts that have prompted courts to limit the authority of officers and noting the areas in which some future limitations might be expected. There is little North Carolina law on most of these issues and sometimes the decisions in other jurisdictions are in conflict.
