Example of a different Court's use of Pretrial conference.


In the event the Joint Final Pretrial Order is to be delivered to the court at the FinalPretrial Conference, the Order will be reviewed by the Magistrate Judge at the conference and entered upon the record. Another purpose of the Final Pretrial Conference is to attempt to settle the action. For that reason, at that conference, each party must be represented by an attorney who is vested with full settlement authority. Clients are to be either present or on call so that any settlement proposals made at the conference can be immediately conveyed.

Ghors: According to Scheduling Order (document 117) pretrial conference to be held Nov 1 at 1PM, immediately before the trial. With all the sealed documents, I gave up trying to follow what was going on, but I did retain that one.
