(i) A party may, with respect to discovery-related issues, file a motion for scheduling conference with the Court when the party is unable to coordinate the scheduling of depositions or other discovery despite reasonable and good faith efforts to do so. The motion for scheduling conference should state in specific detail the efforts which counsel has made to schedule discovery and otherwise complete discovery. Upon addressing a motion for scheduling conference and any responses thereto, the Court may hold a hearing or scheduling conference at its discretion.
Rule 212.1. Pre-Trial Listing and Objections Thereto.
(c) The filing of a Certificate of Readiness and the failure to object thereto constitute an assertion that counsel will be available to try the case within the next two civil trial terms established by the official Court calendar.
(d) In the event a party or parties object to the filing of a Certificate of Readiness on the grounds that counsel is not available to try the case within the next two civil trial terms established by the official Court calendar, counsel must state in specific detail the reasons why substitute counsel cannot be present within the next two civil terms established by the official Court calendar to try the case in the place of lead counsel. Furthermore, if objections to a Certificate of Readiness are filed on the basis that counsel and substitute counsel are not available to try the case within the next two civil trial terms established by the official Court calendar, counsel must specifically identify all conflicts or other trial attachments within the next two civil terms established by the official Court calendar, and must further attach all attachment orders to the Objections to the Certificate of Readiness.
