Jury setting request

No Civil case shall be set for a jury trial unless a jury setting request is filed and the proper jury fee is paid not later than ten (10) calendar days after the date the Notice of Setting for bench trial is mailed by the Court Coordinator, or scheduled in open court.

The proposed charge, witness list, and exhibit list are due by noon on the Friday before the jury week, unless the court sets an earlier deadline.

The filer must mail or deliver a copy of the setting request to all attorneys of record and pro se parties.

When required by the rules or applicable law, the requesting party must notify all attorneys of record and pro se parties of the hearing setting.

On the date the document is mailed or presented to the Court Coordinator, a duplicate must be mailed or delivered to opposing counsel and self-represented parties so they can approve or object to its form or consistency with the ruling, not reargue the merits.

A request for a hearing on an uncontested or ex parte matter may be made in person, by telephone, or in writing to the Court Coordinator.

A party or attorney may obtain a setting for a contested proceeding by requesting an agreed setting from the Court Coordinator or filing a Setting Request.

An attorney may notify the Court Coordinator of a scheduling conflict during the ten calendar days after the Notice of Setting is mailed; the setting becomes final after that period.
