What happens at the Initial Pretrial Conference?
The Initial Pretrial Conference (IPTC) is a court setting to review the status of your case with the court. The court will ensure that both the prosecutor and defense attorney have been assigned and that initial discovery has been provided, including a police report. The court may order that additional information, or discovery, be provided. Additionally, the court will set your trial date and may set other pretrial hearings. If the county attorney has extended a plea offer to settle the case, you may enter the plea agreement at this court setting. If you enter a plea, the Court will set another court date for sentencing.
