Hey everyone, I’m not super familiar with docket call hearings. Ours is going to be on Zoom. From what I’ve gathered, it’s mostly administrative, and we might bring up pending motions? What else should we expect or prepare? Any tips?
You’re right, it’s mostly procedural. The judge usually checks the case status. Make sure you have any motions handy.

Thanks! We’ve got motions and past orders ready. Should I also include emails or correspondence?

Emails can help if they’re relevant. Better to have too much than not enough.
For a Zoom hearing, double-check your Wi-Fi and test your mic and camera. It’s worth the extra five minutes to avoid issues.

Also, make sure you’re in a quiet spot. Background noise can be super distracting for everyone.
If there are any deadlines or discovery disputes, now’s a good time to bring those up. Judges appreciate preparation.

Got it. No disputes right now, but I’ll double-check the deadlines just in case. Thanks!

Even without disputes, it’s good to have deadlines and key points noted. Keeps things smooth.
Pending motions are your big focus. Have a quick explanation ready if the judge asks for details.

Good tip. Should we prep detailed explanations or just stick to the basics?

Basics first, but keep details handy in case they ask. Judges like clear and concise.

It’s like a status check for the case. Judges use it to see where things are and schedule next steps.
