Ga. Unif. Super. Ct. R. 7.4
Criminal Matters
At or after the arraignment, pre-trial conferences may be scheduled as the judge deems
appropriate. Such pre-trial conferences shall be attended by the attorneys who will actually try
the case. At the pre-trial conference:
(A) All motions, special pleas and demurrers not previously determined shall be presented to and
heard by the judge. Any and all pending motions not called to the judge’s attention at the pre-trial conference shall be deemed to have been abandoned and waived; however, at the judge’s
discretion and for good cause, such matters may subsequently be heard. At the discretion of the
judge, the disposition of any matter brought before the court may be postponed.
(B) To the extent possible without revealing confidential trial strategies, the attorneys shall
inform the judge of probable evidentiary problems known to them or any other matter which
might delay the trial so the judge may take any necessary action before the trial to avoid a delay.
(C) If possible, the judge shall set a firm trial date.
(D) Counsel are encouraged to enter into reasonable stipulations.
