Pretrial Information Exchange Form
Rule 4:25- 7 provides that parties must confer and exchange (unless waived in writing) certain information seven days prior to the scheduled trial date. See Appendix XXIII to the Court Rules. This and other information, as provided in R. 4:25-7, should be
provided to the court on the trial date. The purpose of the rule is to ensure that counsel review their file prior to arriving at the courthouse for trial and that counsel and the court have all the information they will need to take the case to trial. Trial judges benefit from the attorneys’ preparation of the information because the judges are provided with everything they need in a single package. If the case is simple or routine, then preparation of the information required under R. 4:25 -7 should be relatively simple or routine as well. In case of non-compliance, the discretion as to whether to impoase a sanction resides with the trial judge.
