Schedule the JCC
Before you schedule the Judicial Case Conference (JCC), check when the other person (or their lawyer, if they have one) is available. If you book a time that won't work for them, the JCC will be delayed.
You'll need to file and serve documents on the other person at least 30 days before your JCC. So make sure the date you set for your JCC is more than 30 days away.
When you have a list of dates and times that would suit both you and the other person for your JCC, check Supreme Court Scheduling to see what's available. To do this:
- From the drop-down menu, select the location where your order was filed.
- Under Conferences, find and open the PDF with a title similar to "Judicial Case Conferences Available Dates" or "JCC Available Dates."
- Check the document for a time that suits you and the other person.
- Call the trial coordinator at the courthouse to book your preferred time.
You can ask the trial coordinator to have your JCC by telephone conference.
Your booking is not guaranteed until you file a Notice of Judicial Case Conference (Form F19) with the registry. Ask the coordinator how quickly you have to do this to secure your date and time.
If you don't schedule a JCC, the other person has the right to arrange one.
Getting enough sleep can help you work through stressful times.
