Pre-Trial Conferences are held to make sure the prosecutor and the defense attorney have exchanged the appropriate documents and to determine if there are any motions that need to be ruled on. A Pre-Trial Conference may also be scheduled prior to a trial to make sure that everyone is prepared for trial. Defendants should consult their attorney to determine if they are required to attend. The victim does not need to appear for a Pre-Trial.
