How are conferences held in EAMS?
Conferences are held much the same way as before EAMS. Those who require a trial fill out a pretrial conference statement and list their evidence, in addition to the unique identifier number for each document. A mechanism is under development to provide parties with a list of documents in the electronic file and the unique document identifier number until there is widespread electronic file access for external users. Post-conference, this document will be scanned into EAMS and reside there for use at trial. For all other dispositions, parties will complete a paper pink sheet. The conference judge fills out the disposition and collect the pink sheets, which are scanned into EAMS, and the disposition recorded following the conference.
