Summary

1 verbatim requirement on discovery.

Applies to

Seventeenth Judicial Circuit — Judge Michael I. Rothschild only. Practices change without notice; the court's own published text controls. Procedural information only; not legal advice.

Source of truth

If trial is set then the Court expects that the parties will be ready to begin jury selection on the first day of trial. No evidentiary motions will be heard on the day of trial. While the Court will hear legal motions, such as motions in limine, any motion that requires a factual determination (including any discovery issues) must be set and heard either prior to announcing ready for trial or during the week between calendar call and the first day of the trial period. If there is an announcement of ready for the second week of the trial period only, trial will still be set on the first day of the trial period; but the Court will make every effort to give deference to the scheduling.
