Superior Court, Judicial District of Litchfield, Connecticut Filing Rules

A stamped and signed evaluation order must be placed in the court file.

The motion must be filed as soon as possible to avoid delaying the contested proceeding.

Attorneys and law firms without an electronic-services exemption must electronically submit exhibit documents for hearings and trials in paperless Civil matters.

When court procedures require or allow electronic proposed-exhibit submission, a submitter complies with the exhibit requirements by submitting electronically by the applicable deadline, notifying appearing parties who can view the exhibits, and providing paper or digital copies to those who cannot.

No notice will be sent for future dates set in court or at conferences; absent counsel must obtain the date and time from the clerk’s office and promptly notify the client.

Consent may be indicated only after all parties have consented, and unanimous agreement to continue does not automatically grant the motion.

All exhibits must be copied single-sided.

Documentation containing personal identifying information must be redacted in accordance with Practice Book 4-7.

Oral argument on motions is within the court's discretion, except where it is a matter of right under Practice Book Section 11-18 (a)(1) and (2).

Parties must bring two copies of proposed exhibits to the trial management conference: one court copy and one bench copy.
