Source of truth

It is mandatory that all parties consult with one another regarding their availability for hearing. If a hearing is unilaterally set without any effort to coordinate a date and time with opposing counsel, that matter will not be heard by the Court. However, if a party has made a good faith attempt to schedule a hearing with opposing counsel and counsel has failed to respond after three (3) attempts via email and/or phone, then the party may schedule the hearing unilaterally. Any hearings scheduled unilaterally pursuant to these instructions must include a note on the Notice of Hearing stating “Set Unilaterally Pursuant to Judge Van Vorst’s Divisional Instructions.” Further, counsel attending any hearing unilaterally set pursuant to these instructions will be expected to present proof of attempts to coordinate with opposing counsel at the hearing.

A live re-read found 13 of 16 published requirements (81%) still present on 1 source page (/courts-judges/judge-kristine-van-vorst/judge-van-vorst-division-procedures/). The missing text may have been reworded, moved, or withdrawn — BenchPath does not guess which. Confidence LOWERED to medium until a human re-reads the source.
