Docket call is the trial setting. In all contested matters set for final hearing, at the time of docket call for a particular week, all counsel or parties pro se are required to appear at docket call and make their announcements to the Court concerning their readiness for trial unless they have previously appeared at the pre-trial and received a specific date and time for trial. Any unqualified announcement of "ready" or "ready subject to" another court engagement shall be made to the Judge, or if so instructed by the Judge, to the Court Coordinator.
