Subject to the provisions set forth by statute, upon a verdict of a jury, or upon a decision of the court, the court shall promptly prepare and sign the judgment, and the clerk shall thereupon enter the judgment in the Record of Judgments and Orders and note the entry of the judgment in the Chronological Case Summary. Attorneys shall not submit forms of judgment except upon direction of the court, and these directions shall not be given as a matter of course. The judge, failing promptly to cause the judgment to be prepared, signed, and entered as provided herein, may be compelled to do so by mandate. The provisions of Trial Rule 58(B) relating to the content of a judgment shall not apply in criminal proceedings.
