The New York Civil Case Management Plan is a system of court rules and procedures which govern civil cases filed in the state of New York. This plan is designed to ensure the fair and efficient resolution of civil disputes by providing uniformity and consistency in the management of civil cases. The plan is divided into several parts, including Pre-Trial Procedures, Case Management Conferences, Discovery, Settlement Conferences, and Trial Procedures. The Pre-Trial Procedures provide guidance on the filing of a summons and complaint, the filing of an answer, and the filing of motions and other documents. The Case Management Conferences involve all parties in the case, the court, and the judge to discuss the issues of the case and to set deadlines for the completion of discovery, the filing of pre-trial motions, and the scheduling of a trial date. The Discovery phase provides guidance on the exchange of information and documents between the parties. The Settlement Conferences are designed to facilitate the settlement of the case, if possible, before trial. The Trial Procedures provide guidance on the conduct of the trial and the submission of evidence. Different types of New York Civil Case Management Plans include the Commercial Division Plan, the Uniform Rules for Trial Courts, the Uniform Rules for the Surrogate’s Court, and the Uniform Rules for the County Court.
