2022 Evening Conversation with the Civil Bench

Description

Join the Santa Clara County Superior Court Civil Supervising Judge and Case Managers for our first live in-person discussion on civil practice since 2019!  Our discussion will cover topics of interest to civil litigation practitioners on navigating a “post-pandemic” world with social distancing, masks, and other protocols with ex parte applications, default judgments, law and motion, and trials.  Topics to be covered include: 

• State of the civil division
• How, what, and when to file ex parte applications.
• Virtual versus in-person hearings: What are my options?
• Obtaining hearing dates.
• Case managers’ philosophy on law and motion matters.
• Informal discovery conference program-who is using them and why?
• Mandatory settlement conferences—how are they being conducted?  Who conducts them?
• Where is my default application?
• Civil jury trials-how are they proceeding? Are they going out on time?
• Argument without alienation

These topics and more will be covered in this always interesting and informative annual Bench/Bar dialogue. Don’t be left in the dark on how to effectively represent your clients in Santa Clara County!
