§ 2016 Pretrial procedure - Formulating issues.

Judges can call a meeting before the trial starts to help organize the case. This meeting is called a pretrial conference. The goal is to sort out what the real disagreements are, so the trial can focus only on the issues that actually matter.

For this rule, the details of how these meetings work come from rules set by the Oklahoma Supreme Court, not from the written law itself. So if you want to know exactly what happens at a pretrial conference (like what needs to be prepared, what gets discussed, or what deadlines apply), you would look at the Supreme Court's specific rules on the subject.

In simple terms, this part of the law just says: unless another law specifically changes things, the Oklahoma Supreme Court decides how pretrial conferences are run.
