The juvenile court assigns juvenile justice, dependency and truancy cases on a direct calendar system, so a case assigned to a judge or commissioner stays with that officer for all purposes until jurisdiction ends unless otherwise ordered; a peremptory challenge must be made before any determination of contested issues of fact on the merits and within 15 days after notice of the assignment, and each party has one per case; the order also addresses cases accepted into the collaborative courts.

Under this system, a case is assigned to a particular judge or commissioner for all purposes and will remain with that judicial officer until the termination of jurisdiction, unless otherwise ordered. Under the direct calendar system, a peremptory challenge to any judge or commissioner must be made prior to any determination of contested issues of fact relating to the merits, and within 15 days after notice of the assignment of the case to a specific judge or commissioner, or it will be deemed untimely.
