This notice to set trial checklist and list of best practices is part of my Colorado Litigation Checklist approach to litigation knowledge management and litigation strategy.
-
Checklist:
- Address body of motion "To Clerk of Court and Counsel of Record"
- "Please take notice that [who will call whom] [when] to set this matter for a [length of trial]"
- State that you have requested a jury trial if applicable
- If you plan to coordinate potential dates with counsel before the setting, say so
-
Thoughts & Best Practices:
- To the extent that any claims/counterclaims are equitable and you want an advisory jury, say so.
- If responding to a notice to set, ensure cross- or counterclaims are set for trial to a jury if so desired.

In North Carolina, court clerks and assistant district attorneys invent their own jury trial notifications. I was forced into a jury trial without a probable cause hearing and an assistand DA even moved my case into the court's wedding chapel. see http://carolinacrimereport.com for north carolina's outrageous court procedures!
