A California Pre-Trial Conference Statement is a formal document filed with a court in the state of California. It contains information about the case and is used to help the court determine if the case should go to trial. It is typically filed by the defendant or their attorney and is used to provide the court with an overview of the facts of the case, the parties involved, and what the expected outcome of the case may be. The statement can also be used to help the court determine if mediation or settlement is appropriate. There are two types of California Pre-Trial Conference Statements: a Preliminary Hearing Conference Statement and a Trial Readiness Conference Statement. The Preliminary Hearing Conference Statement is filed by the defendant or their attorney during the initial stages of the criminal proceedings.

The Trial Readiness Conference Statement is filed by the defendant or their attorney at the pre-trial conference.
