Jury trials are held in full day sessions on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and morning
sessions on Thursdays (9:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m.), unless the Court otherwise specifies. At the Final
Pretrial Conference, the Court reserves the right to add morning sessions on Mondays (9:00
a.m.–12:00 p.m.), thus creating extra half-days for trial. The final trial schedule will be confirmed at
the Final Pretrial Conference.
