Alaska Delinq. R. 19

(a) Time and Purpose. At any time after the

arraignment on petition or entry of a deny plea, the court may

schedule a pretrial conference on the record to consider:

(1) simplification of the issues;

(2) the possibility of obtaining admissions of fact and

documents which will avoid the introduction of unnecessary

evidence;

(3) the number of witnesses who will give testimony of a

cumulative nature; and

(4) such other matters as may aid in the adjudication of

the petition.

(b) Order. The court shall enter an order reciting the

agreement made at the conference. This order controls the

subsequent course of the proceedings unless modified at the

adjudication hearing in order to prevent manifest injustice.
