At that time, the court may issue a tentative ruling on the issues presented. All objections to exhibits and motions in limine will be heard on the record and a ruling will be issued before the presentation of opening argument. Each party shall pay the mandated statutory court reporter fee for each half day of trial. It is the duty of counsel to know the amount of that fee before the day of trial so that counsel can deliver this amount to the clerk in the trial department before the start of each half day of trial. The amount shall be paid in cash or check.
Checks can only be from a party or the attorney's client trust account.
Checks shall be made payable to the Clerk of the Superior Court. Each day, the morning session of trial will usually begin at 9 am. At the end each day of a multi-day trial, counsel and the court shall review the next day's witnesses, examination time and any other calendaring issues. Any witnesses not disclosed pursuant to these rules shall not be permitted to testify at trial. Any exhibits not exchanged pursuant to these rules shall not be introduced at trial.
