For the last many years, Johnson County District Associate Court has held its pretrial conferences at 9:00 a.m. on Wednesdays. Trials always began on Monday mornings, and the Friday before the trial was reserved for final pretrial conferences.
For 2012, there will be a few changes. Pretrial conferences have been moved to occur normally on Mondays at 9:00 a.m. (Exception: 1/19/12). Trials will now occur on Tuesdays, with the final pretrial conference occurring on the Friday before trial.
This will be a nice change, as the attorneys will now have an extra weekday to prepare for trial, following the final pretrial conference.
Finally, it seems that probation revocation hearings will be switched from Tuesdays at 1:30 p.m. to Wednesdays at 1:30 p.m.
