Vermont Civil Procedure

[faithnlve]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Vermont......What is the difference between a Status Conference and a Pre Trial Conference? My pre trial conference has been set twice and continued twice by defendants. I now have a "status conference next month". I have been trying to look up the difference and it keeps coming up as the same thing. Thank you. Faith

I have not posted for a while. Sorry, but, I guess I didn't know I had to find one of my old threads to ask a question. Wouldn't it of been just as easy to type an answer to the question than commenting I should know better as long as I have been a member? I don't post that much anymore and this site has changed a lot. So sorry for the inconvenience. Faith

This is your fifth thread this year:

And this thread seems to have useful information regarding this question:

In addition, you have posted 224 threads since you joined this site.
The request to use old threads has not changed since you joined or left. It helps us help you. And since you have a huge history posted here, your question can be impacted by that which means you might not get a correct answer by throwing it out there as a separate point.

A status conference and a pretrial conference are essentially the same thing. It's a meeting between the attorneys and the judge prior to trial to update the court on the progress of litigation and assist in setting a trial date. In some states, status conferences are mandatory, and in some states they can be voluntarily requested by the judge or either party. It is possible that in your state the terms are used to distinguish between a mandatory conference and a requested conference, or it's possible that the terms are used interchangeably, but in either case the substance of the meeting should be the same.


This is also the second thread I've seen today where a simple question was made into a bigger issue than it needed to be. I understand the desire to keep the forum organized, but sometimes it's easier to quickly answer a question and let the thread vanish than to turn it into an argument that sits on the new posts page for a week.

But I guess the rule about digging up old threads has changed since her last post was back in January.

We have always asked people add new questions to their own old threads rather than starting new ones.
