Rule 8 Civil Jury Trial Calendar

When your civil case is ready for a jury trial, the court will put it on a scheduled list of cases. The judge will set the order in which cases will be called. Once a case is called, both sides need to be ready to go.

If your case settles or you no longer need a jury trial, you must tell the court right away. Waiting too long to report a settlement can cause problems for the court and other parties waiting for their own trial dates. Courts take this seriously because jury trials take up a lot of time and resources.
