Pretrial Report (Pretrial Conference Report-Superior Court)

PRETRIAL CONFERENCE REPORT Mass. R. Crim. P. 11(a)(2)(A). This form is used to document the outcomes of a pretrial conference in a criminal case. This report is completed and signed by both the prosecution and the defense and submitted to the court unless the defendant enters a plea or admission. Its primary purpose is to ensure that both parties have exchanged required discovery materials as outlined under the Massachusetts Rules of Criminal Procedure. This includes automatic discovery by the Commonwealth, reciprocal discovery by the defendant, and any unresolved discovery issues or pending motions to compel. The form also records whether the parties have complied with the obligation to file a Certificate of Compliance and acknowledges their continuing duty to provide newly discovered evidence. The report addresses important pretrial matters such as the filing of non-discovery motions, notice of any intention to present an alibi or other defenses, stipulations of fact, and logistical details of the case such as custody status, need for an interpreter, and estimated trial length. www.FormsWorkflow.com
