Continuances

(a) Trial. Minn. Gen. R. Prac. 122 governs continuances for trial settings unless the court directs otherwise. (b) Motions and Pretrial. A request for a continuance of a motion or pretrial conference shall be in writing and set forth the basis for the request. (Added effective May 1, 2012.) Advisory Committee Comment - 1996 Amendment This rule is new. It is patterned after the similar new Minn. Gen. R. Prac. 111. The Task Force believes that the scheduling information and procedures in family court and other civil matters should be made as uniform as possible, consistent with the special needs in family court matters. It is amended in 1996 to include information needed for using alternative dispute resolution in family law matters as required by Minn. Gen. R. Prac. 301.01, also as amended in 1996. These amendments follow the form of similar provisions in Minn. Gen. R. Prac. 111, and should be interpreted in the same manner. Matters not scheduled under the procedures of this rule are scheduled by motion practice under Minn. Gen. R. Prac. 303.
