`
`Counsel must have their clients and/or decision makers available by phone unless otherwise ordered.
`Counsel for a plaintiff or intervening plaintiff or a self-represented plaintiff must bring an updated
`pretrial memorandum (JD-ES-47) to the trial management conference.
`
`A joint trial management report must be filed with the court before the scheduled trial management
`conference. If the parties, through counsel or self-represented, are unable to agree on the contents of any
`section of the joint trial management report, each side's position shall be set forth in the joint trial
`management report.
`
`The trial management report must include the following:
`
`1. A brief, non-argumentative factual description of the case.
`2. A list of the legal and factual issues in dispute.
`3. A witness list with an identifier for each witness (party, expert, fact witness, document custodian)
`including any anticipated scheduling problems. Witnesses not listed will not be permitted to testify at
`trial, except for good cause shown or if the witness will provide rebuttal evidence. [Note: This order
`does not replace or change the requirements of Practice Book § 13-4 regarding the manner and time for
`expert disclosure.]

`Book § 13-4 expert disclosures by name and docket entry number.
`6. An estimate as to the amount of time necessary to try the case.
`7. A statement as to any anticipated scheduling problems other than those involving witnesses, which
`must be set forth as required in paragraph 3.
`
`Before the start of evidence, all exhibits each side reasonably expects to introduce must be pre-marked
`as full (F), if all sides agree, or for identification only (ID). Unless otherwise ordered by the court at the
`trial management conference or by the assigned trial judge, exhibits shall be marked in accordance with
`the instructions contained in Form JD-CL-28 (List of Exhibits) and the form must be submitted to the
`court on or before the first day of evidence. Any exhibit that is offered at trial but is not on the List of
`Exhibits will not be admitted, except for good cause shown or if the exhibit is offered as rebuttal or

`not limited to, excluding evidence, requiring a party to pay costs or other monetary sanctions, dismissing
`the case or entering a nonsuit or default against the party failing to comply .
