Cecil Cnty. Cir. Ct. Criminal DCM Plan 4.1
Pre-trial conferences are held in all criminal cases which are scheduled for a trial, except
for jury trial prayers. The purpose is to reduce the number of juries called in unnecessarily because
the defendant accepts a plea offer on the day of trial or because the jury trial will not take place
due to some other reason. If a case is to proceed to trial, a pre-trial conference also allows the
Judge to be sure that all preliminary matters have been resolved.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
