IMPORTANT – READ CAREFULLY

THE CASE WILL NOT BE TRIED AT THE PRETRIAL CONFERENCE, BUT MAY BE MEDIATED AT THAT TIME.

DO NOT BRING WITNESS(ES). YOU MUST APPEAR IN PERSON OR BY ATTORNEY.

WHOEVER APPEARS FOR A PARTY MUST HAVE FULL AUTHORITY TO SETTLE FOR ALL AMOUNTS FROM ZERO TO THE AMOUNT OF

CLAIM WITHOUT FURTHER CONSULTATION. FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY RESULT IN THE IMPOSITION OF SANCTIONS, INCLUDING

COSTS, ATTORNEY FEES, ENTRY OF JUDGMENT, DISMISSAL.

The defendant(s) must appear in court on the date specified in order to avoid a default judgment. The plaintiff(s) must appear to avoid having

the case dismissed for lack of prosecution. A written MOTION or ANSWER to the court by the plaintiff(s) or the defendant(s) shall not excuse the

personal appearance of the parties or their attorney in the PRETRIAL CONFERENCE/MEDIATION. The date and time of the pretrial conference

CANNOT be rescheduled without good cause and prior court approval.

A corporation may be represented at any stage of the trial court proceedings by an officer of the corporation or any employee authorized in

writing by any officer of the corporation. Written authorization must be brought to the Pretrial Conference/Mediation.

The purpose of the pretrial conference is to record your appearance, to determine if you admit all or part of the claim, to enable the court to

determine the nature of the case, and to set the case for trial if the case cannot be resolved at the pretrial conference. You or your attorney should

be prepared to confer with the court and to explain briefly the nature of your dispute, state what efforts have been made to settle the dispute, exhibit

any documents necessary to prove the case, state the names and addresses of your witnesses, stipulate to the facts that will require no proof and

will expedite the trial, and estimate how long it will take to try the case.

MEDIATION

Mediation may take place during the time scheduled for the pretrial conference. Mediation is a process whereby an impartial and neutral third

person called a mediator acts to encourage and facilitate the resolution of a dispute between two or more parties, without prescribing what the

resolution should be. It is an informal and nonaversarial process with the objective of helping the disputing parties reach a mutually acceptable and

voluntary agreement.
