The 40th's standard civil bench-trial scheduling order (template revised Sept. 15, 2025): instead of a final pretrial hearing, counsel must e-file a final-pretrial package by the specified date — witness list, exhibit list, a concise statement of significant issues, and a DETAILED set of Findings of Fact & Conclusions of Law; the same paper-discovery, deposition, responsible-third-party, joinder, amended-pleading, expert-designation, and named-mediator requirements as the jury version — with the court's note that summary-judgment motions are DISCOURAGED in cases proceeding to a non-jury bench trial.
