Notice: Judge Helfrich requires mediation prior to a
trial date being set.
Judge Helfrich requires an Agreed Order
Setting Cause for Trial. Please review
the list below, and after all parties agree on a date, please e-mail Jerra with
the date you wish to reserve. You will
receive an e-mail confirming that date.
Do not circulate an order setting
a trial until you have received a confirmation e-mail or you will not have a
1st setting. At that time you will
have a tentative setting, and the date will be taken off of the Open Trial Date
List and placed on the Set Trial Calendar.
You will need to get your Order signed by Judge Helfrich within two
weeks or you will lose your trial date.
Court Administrator will sign off on the order as well to guarantee the
trial is on the Court’s calendar.
Please review the Set Trial Calendar
to make sure your case gets on the Calendar.
Contact Jerra at least one week before your trial. If your case settles, please let the Court
know.
*****Failure
to follow the procedures could result in you losing your trial date. There is also the possibility of there not
being a jury for your trial, therefore please follow these directions.
*****Effective 1-1-08 – In an effort to ensure that all trials are
placed on the set trial calendar, I will sign the
bottom of all trial setting orders. If
you get Judge Helfrich to sign an order on a motion day, I will need the
original to sign to make sure I have it on my calendar. I am having a problem not getting copies of
all orders when they are signed.
Hopefully this will help. Thanks
for your cooperation.
Jury
instructions are due at least three (3) days prior to trial. If the trial is a bench trial, Judge may
require a trial brief. Please know that
the Court may contact attorneys to prepare trial briefs if needed.
