`ORDER
`
`The following order is entered in the above matter:
`
`ORDER:
`
`CIVIL JURY TRIAL MANAGEMENT ORDER
`
`The parties shall comply with the following trial management order unless otherwise ordered by the
`court. Failure to comply may result in sanctions, which may include the exclusion of evidence,
`imposition of costs, non-suit or default. The presiding judge or the trial judge may modify this order for
`any individual case.
`
`Counsel and self-represented parties must attend any scheduled trial management conference at the
`assigned time. Counsel and self-represented parties should come prepared to engage in settlement
`negotiations. Counsel must have clients and/or decision makers (such as insurance adjusters) present or
`immediately available by phone. Counsel for a plaintiff or a self-represented plaintiff must bring an
`updated pretrial memorandum (JD-ES-47) to the trial management conference.
`
`A trial management report must be filed with the court before or at the scheduled trial management
`conference. A trial management report may be filed jointly by the parties or individually by each party.
`The trial management report must include the following:
`1. A brief, non-argumentative factual description of the case.
`2. A list identifying the filing numbers of the operative pleadings (complaint, answer, counterclaim, etc.)
`and any Practice Book §13-4 expert disclosure by name and docket entry number.
`3. A list of all pending motions that must be decided before the start of trial including motions in limine
`or motions to preclude evidence.
`Any motions requiring adjudication before the start of jury selection or evidence, including motions in
`limine or motions to preclude, shall be filed AT LEAST THREE WEEKS before the start of jury
`selection (or if a bench trial, at least THREE weeks before the start of evidence.) A written objection or
`response to any such motion will be filed within SEVEN DAYS after the filing of the motion.
`The moving party shall file a CASEFLOW REQUEST FORM (JD-CV-116) with the motion stating that
`the motion requires disposition before trial.
`The trial judge may decline to consider any motion not filed in compliance with this order.
`4. A list of the legal and factual issues that are not in dispute.
`5. A witness list for each party in the order in which they are planned to be called with an identifier for
`each witnesses (parties, expert, a fact witness, a document custodian) including any anticipated
`scheduling problems.
`Witnesses not listed may be precluded from testifying at trial (unless a rebuttal witness.) [Note: This
`order does not replace or change the requirements of Practice Book §13-4 regarding the manner and
`time for expert disclosure.]
`6. An estimate as to the amount of time required for jury selection (if a jury trial).
`7. An estimate of the amount of time necessary to try the case.

`

`8. A statement as to any anticipated scheduling problems other than those involving witnesses, which
`must be set forth as required in paragraph 5.
`Preliminary requests to charge, proposed verdict forms and any requests for jury interrogatories must be
`filed before the start of evidence or as directed by the court (if a jury trial.)
`
`Before the start of evidence, all exhibits each side reasonably expects to introduce must be exchanged
`and pre-marked in accordance with the instructions contained in form JD-CL-28 regarding Lists of
`Exhibits. Any exhibit offered at trial that is not on a List of Exhibits may be precluded, except for good
`cause shown or unless the exhibit involves rebuttal or impeachment evidence.
`
`Before the start of evidence, the parties shall communicate with each other about whether objections
`exist as to the admissibility of any exhibits. Counsel shall endeavor to agree on all redactions before the
`start of evidence.
`
`The parties shall give the courtroom clerk copies of the Lists of Exhibits only. The parties shall retain
`possession of the exhibits (and shall NOT give the exhibits to the courtroom clerk) until offered during
`the trial. Any agreement to mark a document as a full exhibit must be stated on the record. No document
`will be marked by the courtroom clerk either for identification or as a full exhibit absent direction from
`the court on the record (unless otherwise ordered by the trial judge.)
`
`The parties are advised that discovery disputes should be addressed prior to trial to the extent possible
`pursuant to the procedures provided under Chapter 13 of the Practice Book. Motions in Limine and
`Motions to Preclude are disfavored when directed to discovery issues that could have been addressed
`and resolved through pretrial motions available under Chapter 13 of the Practice Book and filed during
`the time period scheduled for discovery.
