## Text

Judges shall dispose of all judicial matters fairly, promptly, and efficiently.

Commentary:
[1] In disposing of matters fairly, promptly, and efficiently, judges must
demonstrate due regard for the rights of the parties to be heard and to have
issues resolved without unnecessary cost or delay. Competence in the
performance of judicial duties requires the legal knowledge, skill,
thoroughness, and preparation reasonably necessary to perform a judge’s
responsibilities of judicial office.
[2] Containing costs while preserving fundamental rights of parties also
protects the interests of witnesses and the general public. Judges should
monitor and supervise cases so as to reduce or eliminate dilatory practices,
avoidable delays and unnecessary costs.
[3] Prompt disposition of the court’s business requires judges to devote
adequate time to their duties, to be punctual in attending court and expeditious
in determining matters under submission, and to insist that court officials,
litigants, and their lawyers cooperate with the courts to achieve that end.
