The same as for ANY trial or hearing. It is a planning conference where the opposing attorneys meet with the judge and lay out the outlines of their cases so that an estimate may be made of the court time that will be necessary to conduct the case. Neither the plaintiff nor the respondent need to be present as no legal matters will be discussed.
