SLR 11-7.025: SETTING MOTION AND TRIAL DATE IN CIVIL CASES

(1) Civil motions are set and reset by telephone with the court customarily not providing written confirmation of the date or may be set by written notice without prior consultation with counsel. Civil motions may also be set in court or in chambers during a pretrial conference with counsel being required to appear in person or by conference call with their calendars. (2) Civil trials are set by filing a Notice of Trial Readiness and Trial Date Availability form (Appendix 2) within the time frame designated in UTCR 7.020(6). Filing the Notice of Trial Readiness and Trial Date Availability form satisfies the requirements of UTCR 7.020(6)(a). The Notice of Trial Readiness and Trial Date Availability form should be used to request a conference with the presiding judge or designee under UTCR 7.020(6)(b).
