Connecticut Civil Court Trial Management Order (CT CMO) is a set of guidelines that govern the pre-trial and trial management of civil cases within the Connecticut state court system. It provides a framework for the management of civil cases from the filing of the complaint to the entry of a judgment. The CT CMO is applicable to all civil cases in the Connecticut Superior Court. The CT CMO provides guidance on the types of tracking orders, scheduling orders and witness lists that the court may issue. It also outlines the timelines for filing motions and responses, and provides for the exchange of evidence between the parties. In addition, the CT CMO sets out the procedures for discovery, including depositions, interrogatories and requests for production of documents. The CT CMO is composed of two parts: The Pre-Trial Management Order (PTO) and the Trial Management Order (TO). The PTO governs pre-trial proceedings such as discovery, motions practice and the exchange of witness lists. The TO governs the trial itself, including jury selection and instructions, the introduction of evidence and closing arguments. The CT CMO is intended to ensure the efficient and fair resolution of civil cases. By providing a uniform set of rules and procedures, it ensures that all parties are aware of their rights and obligations, and that cases are handled in an equitable and timely manner.
