Rule 8 Assignment of trials in civil matters
Currentness
8.1 Upon motion to set for trial, the Court shall schedule a trial date if the case is reasonably ready for trial. The Court may also schedule a Pretrial Conference, at which trial counsel shall be present.
8.2 When a jury trial is requested, a Jury Trial Order shall be entered by the Court directing the parties to furnish to the Court and each other at least one week prior to trial a Pretrial Compliance Statement containing the following:
1. A statement of the kind of action and a report on the status of mediation efforts;
2. Stipulations;
3. A statement of disputed issues with citation of authorities;
4. A confirmation that discovery is completed, or if not completed, the probable completion date;
5. A list of expected witnesses and brief summary of their testimony;
6. A separate list of expert witnesses and brief summary of their testimony;
7. A list of marked exhibits;
8. A list of all special damages and supporting documents; and
9. Proposed Jury Instructions.
8.3 The Court reserves the authority to tailor its trial order to fit the requirements of each case. If any such order differs in any material respect from the above, the Jury Trial Order entered by the Court in a given case shall take precedence over these general rules.
8.4 When a bench trial is requested, the Court will enter a Bench Trial Order which may contain provisions similar to the above pretrial compliance rules for jury trials. However, the Court will tailor the terms of any such order to the particulars of the case.
8.5 Except for good cause shown, failure to comply with any trial order may result in sanctions, and deviations will not be allowed to the disadvantage of opposing parties.
8.6 All attorneys should examine their files prior to trial to ensure that all interrogatories and requests for admission have been answered and updated. Failure to furnish discovery material required by the civil rules shall result in sanctions.
