The Supreme Court is authorized by rule or order to:
(1) Provide for the election by the district and associate district judges within each administrative district of a district judge as presiding judge of the administrative district.
(2) Fix the administrative powers of the presiding judge, including but not limited to rules under which the presiding judge may assign judges to hold court outside of their own district but within the administrative district. Where not inconsistent with the rules of the Supreme Court, the presiding judge of the judicial administrative district may adopt rules that are calculated to bring about a more speedy and efficient administration of justice within his administrative district, including the appropriate times and places of holding court.
(3) Provide for meetings of the presiding judges of the administrative districts to discuss any matters calculated to bring about a better and more efficient administration of justice.
(4) Prescribe the times and places where the district court may hold court. When authorizing the holding of court in a city other than the county seat, the Supreme Court may provide the times when the office of the court clerk in such other cities shall be open for the transaction of business.
(5) Adopt rules relating to the assignment of district judges, associate district judges and special judges to hold court anywhere in the state and authorizing the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court to make such assignments.
(6) Provide for meetings of the judges within an administrative district for the purpose of coordinating their work, the discussion of their dockets and work loads, the determination of what judges may be available for assignment outside of their own districts, and other matters calculated to bring about a better and more efficient administration of justice.
(7) Make all such other rules and orders as may appear advisable to better equalize the work load of the various judges and bring about a more speedy and efficient administration of justice within the state.
(8) The Supreme Court shall provide by rules the minimum number of jury and nonjury terms to be held in each county during any one year.
