The scheduling of cases that are heard in court are typically set by the Clerk of the Court. They have a variety of procedures they use based upon what works best for their specific locality.
Some of those factors can be the number of judges available to hear such cases, what the docket schedule of each already is, the probable length of time needful to hear the specific case, and what other cases need scheduling.
You should consult with a local attorney who can give specific advice for your particular situation.

Once a case is filed in court it may remain pending for as long as the case is being actively prosecuted by the parties without regard to any statute of limitations.

Once the case is filed, however, it may remain pending until properly disposed of. If a case is particularly complex and if the particular court system is crowded with other cases, a lawsuit maybe pending in court years after the termination of the limitations period.
