pretrial order

Read a random definition: Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA)

A quick definition of pretrial order:

A pretrial order is a document that outlines the claims and defenses that will be presented in court, as well as any agreements made by the parties involved and the rules that will be followed during the trial. This document is created during a pretrial conference and is considered more important than the initial pleadings filed by the parties.

A more thorough explanation:

A pretrial order is a legal document that outlines the claims and defenses to be tried in court, as well as the procedural rules and stipulations agreed upon by the parties involved. This order is typically created during a pretrial conference and supersedes the initial pleadings.

For example, in a civil lawsuit, the pretrial order may include a list of witnesses and evidence that will be presented during the trial, as well as deadlines for submitting any additional evidence. It may also outline any agreements made between the parties, such as a settlement offer or a decision to waive a jury trial.

Another example could be in a criminal case, where the pretrial order may include a list of charges against the defendant, any evidence that will be presented by the prosecution, and any potential defenses that the defendant may use.

Overall, a pretrial order is an important document that helps to ensure that the trial proceeds smoothly and efficiently, with all parties aware of the claims and defenses being presented.
