LASC FAM 229 - BRIEFING SCHEDULE ORDER. This form issued by the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles, is used to set mandatory deadlines and procedural requirements for parties involved in a family law case—typically one involving trial, an evidentiary hearing, a request for order, a settlement conference, or another significant court proceeding. This order outlines the specific actions each party (or their attorney) must take before the scheduled hearing or trial date. These actions may include filing and serving a Settlement Conference Brief, Trial Brief, Evidentiary Hearing Brief, Exhibit List, and Witness List by certain dates, in accordance with local court rules.

Additionally, parties may be required to file a Joint Statement of Disputed and Undisputed Facts, complete income and expense declarations, serve preliminary and final declarations of disclosure, and participate in child custody or visitation mediation, if applicable. Failure to comply with the deadlines or procedures outlined in this order may lead to sanctions, including monetary penalties, exclusion of evidence, or even the vacating of trial dates.
