Pre-Motion Conference Requirements
Before filing a summary judgment motion, parties should schedule an informal conference with the Court, should always inquire with the Court, and should not make written submissions before the conference.
In many cases, it is helpful for the Court to hold an informal, off-the-record discussion (in chambers or on Zoom) with the lead attorneys of the parties to discuss whether the filing of a summary judgment motion is advisable given the state of the record. No written submissions should be made prior to the conference. Parties, however, should always inquire with the Court prior to filing a summary judgment motion.
We could not find this wording in the court's document. Open the source before relying on it. · Civil cases
