The court on its own motion may order, or a party or parties may request, that an additional case management conference be held at any time. A party should be required to appear at an additional conference only if an appearance is necessary for the effective management of the case. In determining whether to hold an additional conference, the court must consider each case individually on its own merits.
Plain-English Summary (for reference only — not a substitute for the rule text above)
A judge can call extra case management meetings at any time during a case. Parties can also ask the court to hold one. These meetings help keep the case moving forward smoothly.
Not everyone has to show up to every extra meeting. The judge will only require a party to attend if their presence actually helps manage the case. The judge looks at each case separately to decide whether an extra meeting makes sense.

Committee Notes
Regarding additional case management conferences, in many civil cases one initial conference and one other conference before trial will be sufficient. But in other cases, including complicated or difficult cases, the court may order an additional case management conference or conferences if that would promote the fair and efficient administration of the case.
Rule 3.723 adopted effective January 1, 2007.
