A Pre-Trial Disposition Conference is a meeting scheduled before a trial to facilitate discussions between the parties involved in a legal case, including their attorneys and a judge or magistrate. The primary purpose is to explore settlement options, clarify issues, and streamline the trial process by identifying what will be contested. This conference can help reduce the number of issues that need to be resolved in court, potentially leading to a resolution without the need for a full trial. It is an important step in the litigation process aimed at promoting efficiency and judicial economy.

After your trial or disposition of your case you are dismissed from your pretrial release program.
