Order for Trial or Continued Pretrial Conference

If the parties are unable to resolve the case, in whole or in part, at the pretrial conference, the court shall issue an order that schedules any remaining discovery and any contemplated motions, identifies the contested issues for trial, and provides for the exchange of witness lists and exhibits to be offered at trial. The order shall identify and describe the resolution of uncontested issues that have been placed on the record. Cross Reference: Minn. Civ. Trialbook, section 5. (Amended effective May 1, 2012.) Task Force Comment - 1991 Adoption This rule is new. The Task Force believes it is useful to have an order entered to limit the issues and preserve any agreements reached at a pretrial conference. This rule is adapted from a recommendation of the Minnesota State Bar Association's Family Law Section.
