Notice to Set Trial (Litigation Checklist)

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.
