California Trial Management Orders (Amos) are orders issued by a judge in California state court to ensure the efficient management of a trial. The purpose of the orders is to ensure the trial is conducted in an orderly manner, with all parties prepared and ready to proceed when the trial begins. California AMOS are typically issued prior to trial and include a variety of provisions such as deadlines for filing motions, discovery requirements, guidelines for the use of evidence, and instructions on how to question witnesses. There are several types of California AMOS, including: Final Pretrial Conference Orders, which set out the procedures for the final pretrial conference; Case Management Conference Orders, which provide the framework for the case management conference; and Trial Management Orders, which set out the procedures for the trial itself.
