Rule 15.08 Case Management Order

When a case is part of Mass Litigation and uses electronic filing and service, the judge in charge can create special instructions for how the case will run. These instructions are called a case management order.

This order lets the judge set extra rules that fit the specific needs of the case. Mass Litigation cases often involve many people or many claims, so they can be more complicated than a typical case. The judge has the power to add steps or procedures that make sense for that particular situation.

For people involved in the case, this means you should pay close attention to any case management order the judge issues. It may include deadlines, filing instructions, or other requirements that go beyond the normal court rules. These orders are meant to help the case move forward in an organized way, especially when many parties or claims are involved.
