A. At least ten (10) days before the trial, the Court shall conduct a trial readiness hearing to resolve the following:
1. Stipulations of facts;
2. All negotiations;
3. Exchange of witness lists;
4. Providing of any discovery not previously completed; and
5. Motions on legal issues arising since the last pretrial hearing or due to new evidence.
B. At the trial readiness hearing, the parties shall fully disclose:
1. The names and addresses of all witnesses they expect to present at trial, and the basic information to which they expect the witness to testify;
2. All documents they expect to introduce as evidence, and the basic information which they intend to prove with the documents; and
3. All objects which they intend to introduce as evidence and the basic information which they intend to prove with those objects.
4. No party shall be permitted to use the testimony of any witness or introduce as evidence any document or object unless they disclosed the witness, document, or object at the pretrial conference, unless the party establishes that at the time of the pretrial conference they were unaware of the existence or nature of the witness, document or object and could not, with reasonable effort, have discovered it in time to disclose it. Such evidence must, in any case, be disclosed to the judge and opposing party before it is offered in the trial. (Res. 2021-43; Res. 2020-60)
