Pretrial release is critical to permit a client to effectively assist in his defense (locate witnesses, review documents, prepare to testify, avoid jail house pallor). Studies have demonstrated a correlation between pretrial release and acquittal at trial.

Pre-trial conferences include full discovery of evidence (bills, receipts, agreements, contracts, photos, etc.). At the pre-trial, you must be prepared to bring all documents that you anticipate will be introduced as evidence at the trial and you must provide a copy of each potential exhibit to the opposing party.

Can a Case Be Dismissed at a Pretrial Hearing? It is important to note that during a pretrial hearing judges will rule on any motions or matters brought up during a pretrial conference. This means that pretrial motions to dismiss will be ruled upon during the pretrial hearing.

At the pretrial conference, a defendant is entitled to review a copy of the complaint , any written police reports or any other evidence that the State intends to use at the trial . Witnesses do not attend the pretrial disposition conference and no testimony is taken.

Pre-trial matters: This is the term given to All decisions made by the court before the trial of the Defendant. All cases start in the Magistrates court with pretrial matters being sorted out by Magistrates.For Indictable offences the Magistrates will note the D's plea and formally send the case to Crown Court.

The pretrial stage includes conferences and motions. The meeting of parties to a case conducted before trial is called a pretrial conference. Such meeting will be held before the trial judge or a magistrate, or a judicial officer who possesses fewer judicial powers than a judge.

At the pre-trial conference, you as the defendant, your attorney, and a prosecutor discuss the case. This is the stage where most plea bargains are entered. In the event of a plea bargain, you enter a plea of guilty in exchange for a reduction of the charges and/or punishment.

A pretrial memorandum is often submitted to the judge before a trial to explain the position or argument of the party. In addition, a pretrial memorandum often has a list of witnesses expected to testify and a brief synopsis of what they will be testifying to at the trial.

Put the name of both parties involved in the court proceedings, and the number of the case on the first page of the document. Clearly state which party the memo is for and the number of witnesses who plan to speak at the trial.
