What is the dif b/n pro se parties in a civil suit meeting to create a "joint pretrial statement" and ...?
and a "Pretrial Conference." It appears to me that a "Pretrial Conference" will shed no light on a, I repeat pro se case, as there are no attorneys involved and adjectives issues were covered in that statement. Further, the creation of the "Joint Pretrial Statement" was assisted by the judge's law-clerk to avoid improper legal language, for overall supervision in her dimensions as an attorney, while guiding the us to appropriate and applicable law. She typed up the "Joint Pretrial Statement" several times so that it was in smudge with our statements. I'm the Defendant on a case that has be going on for three years and as I am on a $400/month disability, am pressed to the end of any financial resources regarding the round-trip air fare, hackney cab fare etc. I have never had legal counsel. Since 2006, the Plaintiff be represented by 4 (yup "four") attorneys until this last pretrial meeting before which they withdraw as counsel for non-payment and having a case which they stated, would be unlikely to win. Please, no guessing. This is too substantial. I refuse to loose a malicious lawsuit after three years because I can't afford air fare. The clean judge (naturally the judge we've had for 3 years, who have been sympathetic and continually questioning the Plaintiff's counsel as to how they expected to resolve an unprovable case, have been replaced by a Judge who knows virtually nothing nearly the case, as evidenced by her concern that the Plaintiff was going to have to verbs without an attorney) She wrote me personally that she was concerned that I couldn't feel these last three steps. (1) this conference, (2) pick jury, (3) a 2-day trial, because I had did not supply documents to the Plaintiff's attorneys for a case where on earth I'm being charged (isn't that criminal?) with stealing some things I didn't take so in that is neither documentation nor witnesses to say I didn't do something. Plaintiff is my brother who is on a psychiatric disability and is prone to schizophrenic episodes, containing both both visual and auditory hallucinations. One of these incidents lead threatening behavior involving a gun, he plead guilty in criminal court, but he instigated a civil suit because he says I "made it all up" be thus the was the cause of his arrest and probation, and stole many of his personal items since near was a CPO on our Mother's house where he had be living.. He has spent many times spent on psychiatric facilities, but apparently this information is not relevant to this skin and cannot be entered even if I could get the records released. I be specifically written by the judge that I had to appear in soul, as I always have, when a speaker phone should serve as well since we're not debating anything at this point. Any comfort or advice by anyone familiar with Torte Law, especially since it's between line members which apparently likens it to working with lepers, which is why he's spent $80,000 surrounded by legal fees and owes another $8,000.
Best Answer:
wow that's a lot to digest. A joint pretrial statement is a document i.e. prepared to submit to the court before a pretrial conference is held. It is used by the Court to identify outstanding and disputed issues and basically to make for an orderly pretrial conference. It is "joint" because both party participate in drafting it. A pretrial conference is an actual hearing until that time the Court that is used to iron out any issues in advance of trial. if money is an issue, consider contacting endorsed aid to see if they could assist you with this. It is unlikely that they would, but it is worth a shot
