“… a well prepared MESP Memo submitted by both sides to our experienced panelists is perhaps the most effective, and least expensive, way to resolve the litigation.”In Burlington County the timely exchange of Case Information Statements and discovery is more important than ever. Multiple divorce cases listed for trial on the same day will cause uncertainty for the trial dates. It remains to be seen if the Burlington Courts will be able to schedule continuous divorce trials. Just because the parties are are scheduled for trial does not necessarily mean that there will be a judge available to start the trial. Conversely, if there are several cases listed for trial ahead of the case and they settle the parties may start their divorce trial sooner than expected. The Notice to the Bar reaffirms the practice of requiring economic mediation for those parties who were unable to settle their case following the Matrimonial Early Settlement Panel (MESP) and lets the litigants and lawyers know there will be strict adherence to the Court Rules regarding motion practice. The Notice states,
“…judges will rarely, if ever, consider pleadings filed later than the close of business on the Thursday preceding the scheduled oral argument.”Those who strictly adhere to the court rules will do better than those who do not.
