I am not quilty of the charges against me for assault, should I accept community service at pretrial conference?
The pre-trial conference is held to (supposedly) iron out the details that will be addressed at trial. The next step is usually the trial itself.
What is the difference between a comperhensive pre-trial oppose to pre-trial conference for civil court?
A "pretrial" WHAT? A pre-trial HEARING - yes. A pre-trial CONFERENCE - no.
Pre -Trial Conference.
For a discussion of pre-trial conferences, see the below link: :
Generally, the parties do not appear at a pre-trial conference, because it is a conference the judge has with all attorneys and pro se parties to discuss the many aspects of the procedural status of the case and determine when it should be ready for trial.
Pre-Trial conferences are generally not THAT legally constrained. Giving good reason why, simply ask the other side if the conference can be set off to a later date. If the pre-trial conference was ordered by the court to take place on a specific date - submit a motion to the judge who ordered it, and (as above) give good reason why.
If the postponement is agreed to by both the prosecution and defense attorneys, yes, it can.
Yes they will share information on the case. The prosecutor has to provide copies of all the evidence to the defending attorney. And there is additional requirement that other information must be shared.
Possible discovery & perjury charge.
If you have ALREADY been gound guilty the time for your PRE-trial conference has come and gone.
A pretrial conference is a meeting where the lawyers in a lawsuit meet with the judge assigned to hear the trial in order to iron out any trial preparation issues that may still exist in order to avoid having them crop up at the time of trial and cause a delay in the trial date. Typically, issues such as this are treated, discussed and resolved. The parties to the lawsuit are usually not permitted to be part of the pretrial conference, because it is essentially a procedural step. No testimony from parties or witnesses will be taken.
A case review will take place first.
