When notice to the client is provided in person, counsel must submit acceptable documentary evidence of that notice.

The Clerk must file the Litigation Control Order and mail copies to all attorneys and pro se parties of record.

The Clerk must issue the Litigation Control Order as soon as practicable after the first defendant's answer is filed.

A written jury-trial request must be filed at least 30 days before the assigned trial date.

Attorneys are recommended, but not required, to call the court coordinator to verify that the court will be in session for a 9:00 a.m. hearing.
