Rule 212.2B - Case Management Conference and Complex Cases(1) At any time after the pleadings have closed (e.g., Complaint, Answer and New Matter and Reply to New Matter), any party may move the Court, or the Court may move on its own to schedule a case management conference, without the need for consent from the other party or parties.(2) After receiving the motion, the Court shall schedule a case management conference at which the Court will set a discovery schedule, date for filing of dispositive motions, date for exchange of expert reports, and a date for a pretrial conference. Said dates will only be extended for good cause shown.(3) If the case is a complex case (one that involves significant legal and factual issues, has multiple experts, will take more than several days to try and requires significant attention of the Court in connection with pretrial and trial motions), the party filing the motion for a case management conference should advise the Court of that fact in the motion so that a special schedule and trial date can be set.Amended effective 3/1/2024
