Rule 4:25-6 Pretrial Conference After Grant of New Trial

When a court orders a new trial, the judge may require the parties to go through a pretrial conference before the new trial begins. This is required if the case had a pretrial conference the first time around.

A pretrial conference is a meeting where the judge and both sides discuss the case before it goes to trial. It helps organize the issues and can sometimes lead to a settlement before the new trial happens.
