Consolidated Pretrial Order (Wood)

ORDER AND NOTICE OF PRETRIAL PROCEEDINGS. This form is used in civil cases before the United States District Court for the Southern District of Georgia and reflects Judge Lisa G. Wood’s standard procedures for pretrial management. This document combines the court’s Order and Notice of Pretrial Proceedings with detailed instructions for preparing a joint consolidated proposed pretrial order. It requires lead counsel for all parties to cooperate in producing a single, comprehensive filing that governs trial preparation and supersedes the pleadings once approved. The form outlines mandatory topics such as factual stipulations, jurisdiction, unresolved motions, discovery status, outlines of each party’s case, legal issues, witnesses, exhibits, deposition designations, settlement efforts, trial estimates, and proposed verdict forms. Failure to comply with the consolidation and formatting requirements may result in sanctions, including dismissal of claims or defenses. www.FormsWorkflow.com
