§ 2410. Time and place of holding court. It shall be the duty of the

first judicial district to provide suitable places for holding court in

accordance with the designation made by the board of judges as

hereinbefore provided. The judges assigned by the board shall hold court

in one or more parts in each district as established, and on such days

as fixed by said board and at places provided by the first judicial

district or, in the event of failure to provide such places, at any

places designated by the board of judges. If there is only one part of

the court in a district, the office of the clerk of such district and

the place for holding the court thereof may be located outside of the

district provided it is within fifteen hundred feet of the district

boundary line. Civil, small claims and criminal matters filed, made

returnable, processed or tried in such clerk's office or places for

holding court designated by the board of judges and located outside of a

district as herein provided, shall be deemed for purposes of this

charter to have been filed, made returnable, processed or tried in the

district for which such office or courthouse was provided. During the

months of July and August at least one part of the court in each

district shall be in session at least three days in each week to hear

civil and criminal cases, and shall try summary proceedings, actions for

wages and, on good cause shown, other actions where the rights of the

parties may be jeopardized by delay, and such other actions as the court

may deem proper to be tried; and except for illness each judge shall be

available for service as assigned by the board of judges during eleven

months of the year. The president of the board of judges shall assign

any judge or judges of the district court to perform without additional

compensation the duties of acting police justice in any village within

the first judicial district upon the request of the board of trustees

thereof.
