Docket Call: The 11th District Court does not have a Docket Call. Your case is on call for the entire two-week period. You may be called to trial at any time during this two week period. You will be assigned for trial when the coordinator calls you and tells you what day and time to appear. Do not come to court until you are assigned.
Settlements: If your case has settled, notify the court as soon possible. Continue settlement negotiations until you arrive at the Courthouse.
Continuances: File motions for continuance before you are assigned to trial. Agreed continuances do not need a hearing unless it is a third setting or more. Trial dates prior to continuances are not given until the case is continued and reset, notice will be mailed out. Parties can submit an agreed DCO accordingly.
Vacation Letters: To enforce a vacation setting, submit a letter to the Court and copy all parties. If the attorney of record has a vacation letter covering both weeks of the trial setting, you do not need a motion for continuance. Your case will be reset at the end of the two-week period. Check Local Rules for non-summer months.
Pretrial conferences: See the Court’s local rules.
Jury Charges: Email proposed jury charges to the court reporter Mark Miller at mark_miller@justex.net once you have been assigned to trial.
