Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California

Re: Judge ordered a ''Status Conference'' What is it and What Happens?

There are no motions or evidence presented at a status conference. The status conference is usually to inform the court of the state of discovery and to choose a trial date or if a jury at trial is requested. I'd advise you to hire a lawyer, rather than representing yourself since Court's don't take pity if you do not understand the proceedings or rules of motions or evidence.

Re: Judge ordered a ''Status Conference'' What is it and What Happens?

A status conference is just what it says. The judge wants to know the status of the case. In your case, it seems that the case is "at issue",that is, the complaint has been filed and answered. The next stage is discovery. You will not make motions or present evidence at the status conference.

Sounds like you need to hire an attorney before you get 'hammered' in court for not knowing and following the rules. Call if interested 714-960-7584

You need to fill out Status Conferemce questionniare. That day Ct. will set the date for mediation, trial date and parties can choose the mediator. Contact an attorney...even if you do not retain them...they can help you in filing out forms for nominal fee.
