Certification By Parties For Out-Of-Court Case Management Conference {BMC-CV-131}

BMC-CV-131 - CERTIFICATION FOR OUT-OF-COURT CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE. This form is used in the Central Division of the Boston Municipal Court. It allows attorneys representing all parties in a civil case to avoid appearing in person for a scheduled Case Management Conference, provided they complete and submit this certification to the court at least seven days prior to the scheduled conference date. By signing the form, counsel certify that they have discussed settlement and the possibility of resolving the case through alternative dispute resolution. They also confirm whether there are any stipulations or agreements between the parties and acknowledge that no discovery orders are being requested from the court. The attorneys agree on a specific date for a pretrial conference, which must occur within ten months of the case’s filing unless the court allows otherwise. In some cases, if both parties agree that a pretrial conference is unnecessary, they may use the form to request a trial date instead. Failure to appear at the agreed-upon pretrial conference may result in penalties, including dismissal or default. www.FormsWorkflow.com
