Dear [Judge's Name], RE: Trial Setting for Non-Jury Trial in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania I am writing to request a trial setting for a non-jury trial to be held in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. [Provide brief background information about the case]. Allegheny County, located in the western part of Pennsylvania, is home to Pittsburgh, the state's second-largest city. Known for its rich history and diverse population, Allegheny County offers a dynamic legal landscape for the resolution of various disputes. In the case at hand, we believe that a non-jury trial is the most appropriate format for adjudicating the matter. A non-jury trial, also known as a bench trial, is conducted before a judge instead of a jury. This type of trial allows for the judge to make all determinations of law and fact, providing a streamlined and efficient procedure for resolving the issues at hand. When scheduling the trial date, we kindly request considering the availability of all parties involved, including the attorneys, witnesses, and any other necessary personnel. It is crucial to ensure that everyone's schedules can accommodate the proposed trial date to avoid unnecessary delays or conflicts. Furthermore, it would be beneficial to conduct a pre-trial conference prior to the trial setting. This conference would allow the parties to discuss any pending motions, potential settlement options, stipulations, and pre-trial documents that need to be filed. This proactive approach can help streamline the trial process and promote a more efficient resolution of the dispute. In addition to the main non-jury trial, there might be other types of non-jury trials that you may encounter throughout your judicial career in Allegheny County. These may include: 1. Arbitration Trials: These trials involve the resolution of disputes through arbitration, a process in which a neutral third party, known as the arbitrator, listens to both sides of the case and makes a binding decision. 2. Administrative Hearings: These hearings address legal disputes involving government agencies, such as zoning decisions, licensure issues, or public benefits eligibility determinations. In such hearings, an administrative law judge makes the final decision. 3. Family Court Trials: Non-jury trials in family court deal with various matters including divorce, child custody, child support, and adoption. Instead of a jury, these trials are decided by a family court judge, who weighs the evidence and applies relevant laws to make a decision. Your Honor, we kindly request your guidance and expertise in selecting a suitable trial date and conducting a fair non-jury trial in Allegheny County. We are confident that with your impartiality and knowledge, justice will be served efficiently and effectively. Thank you for your attention to this matter. We look forward to receiving the trial schedule and any further instructions from the court. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Law Firm] [Contact Information]
