Pre trial conference?
Find answers to your legal question.

Ok so I have a civil suit aginst an old business partner that was stealing from the company, its for fraud, deriuvative action, breach of contract and one more thing. Anyway this case started in 2006 and in Januwary there was a motion to set andd certificate of readiness. the set and cert form says that there are 60 day to finish discovery, but from the day that form was file nothing occured, so its been longtime since I heard anything else. Today I check on line and it says pre trial conference. What is this about? Is it something I have to attend. I cant call my lawyer now bc I just noticed it and they are closed till tomorow. Does this mean its going to go to trial?

Also the guy does not have a lawyer on the case. He had three previously but they all withdrew from the case. So is that a good sign?

pretrial is the time to discuss any deals you have up on the table and set a trial date. Read the person the charges (usually thats the second time they have heard it in court) and like i siad, give them time if they want to make a plea agreement. There isnt a trial set to that day. then the judge will set one.
