CHAPTER 9 SETTING CIVIL CASES FOR TRIAL AND FOR PRE-TRIAL AND MANDATORY SETTLEMENT CONFERENCES 9.1 Authority of Calendar Coordinator Regarding Settings (eff. 6/30/91, amd. 1/1/2009) The setting of cases for trial, trial assignment, and mandatory settlement conferences is done by the presiding judge of the superior court, who has delegated partial authority in these matters to the calendar coordinator who is also responsible for the setting of the arbitration conference. The clerk of the court does not perform any function with respect to settings. (eff. 6/30/91, amd. 1/1/2009) 9.2 Civil Active List (eff. 6/30/91 amd. 1/1/2009) When the presiding judge of the civil department or the calendar coordinator deems a case to be at issue, the case will be placed on the civil active list and set for trial by the calendar coordinator. (eff. 6/30/91 amd. 1/1/2009) 9.3 Setting Cases for Trial (eff. 6/30/91 amd. 1/1/2009) Trial dates will be selected by the presiding judge of the civil department or the calendar coordinator who will consider the nature of the case, the information provided by the case management conference statement, and the condition of the court's calendar. Actual setting of case for trial will be by written notice issued by the calendar coordinator. (eff. 6/30/91 amd. 1/1/2009) 9.4 Requests for Changes in Trial Dates (eff. 6/30/91 amd. 1/1/2009) A. Dates For Trial Are Firm All dates for trial are firm and no trial date will be changed without court approval. Motions to advance a trial date, to reset or specially-set a case for trial, or to continue a trial date must made on written notice to all parties who have appeared, and must be set for hearing. B. Motions and Stipulations for Continuance Of Trial 1. A motion for continuance of a trial date must be noticed for hearing as soon as possible after the need for continuance has been determined. No continuance will be granted except upon an affirmative showing of good cause (CRC § 3.1332). 2. A stipulation to continue a trial, or to vacate a trial date and calendar the matter for re-setting, may be accepted in lieu of a motion as long as 1) all parties agree in writing; 2) the terms of the written stipulation set forth good cause pursuant to § 9 of the Standards of Judicial Administration and CRC § 3.1332(a), and further state that the stipulation is subject to approval by the court; and 3) the stipulation is accompanied by a proposed order. 3. The court may refuse to grant a requested trial continuance if it is not timely, or if it fails to meet the requirements specified in this section. C. Effect of Continuance. If a trial date is vacated and not reset it will be set for further proceedings on the regular case management calendar, and at least five (5) days before that date each party must file a current and complete casement management statement (JC Form CM 110). The time limits specified in CRC 3.725 do not apply to case management statements filed after a trial date has been vacated. (eff. 6/30/91 amd. 1/1/2009)

Reviewer note: Composed 2026-10-10 (California T4 Lake build 2026-10-10) from BenchPath custody ca/t4/ca-lake/docs/local-rules/local-rules-january-2026_v2.pdf (the court's rule book, its cover “SUPERIOR COURT, STATE OF CALIFORNIA COUNTY OF LAKE LOCAL RULES Effective 1/1/2026”, as fetched 2026-10-10; 852364 bytes, sha256 060a39793172b99fb99a1f839efb8fee0755a6d5c8c03d52d407d1d536399e9d; 69 pages) with the shared verbatim composer (v2 reflow): the rule body (PDF pages 9 to 68; the chapters run on without page breaks) composed once and cut at the twenty chapter headings (“CHAPTER 1 ADOPTION AND APPLICABILITY OF RULES” to “CHAPTER 20 ELECTRONIC FILING”), the chapters reassembling the body exactly: each page's running header (“Superior Court, County of Lake”) and footer (the page number) removed as chrome; lines reflowed into the rules' paragraphs; Rule 5.8's ruled table (Case Plan Disposition Time Standards and Court Events, pages 29 and 30) read cell by cell by the table finder; no struck run on any of the 69 pages (review/strike-report-2026-10-10.txt); 22 whitespace-only fixes (build/book-fixes.json: Rule 5.8's table cells' lettered items and paragraphs set on their own lines (10); Rule 8.6's plans and its item 3 (3); Rule 3.13's history note (1); Rule 11.5's default fee schedule set row by row (1); the subheadings of Rules 3.5 (at a page break) and 4.10(c) set on their own lines (2); Rule 5.9's form number FL-105 and the word “denial” its Rule 5.9(E) prints across three lines set whole (2); and the sentences of Rules 9.4, 10.3 and 5.4(B) rejoined where the composition broke them before an inline item, a dash and a capitalized word (3)) and 1 same-character fix (build/book-captions.json: Rule 16.3(B)'s list of remote proceeding calendars, printed in two columns, set group by group); the vertical-gap, short-line, page-break, bold-line, row and false-break audits find no other; proof 1 (whitespace-only) and proof 2 (same character multiset as the text layer minus chrome) pass. The cover, the table of contents, the three local forms the book prints (LK-108, LKSC-420 and LK-117) and the index belong to no card.
