As soon as the answer is filed, it’s important to propose and file a scheduling order. Propose it to O/C and get it filed with the court to make sure the case moves!
Why It Matters:
It Keeps Things Moving – Courts are busy. Filing early helps avoid delays.
Sets Clear Deadlines – Everyone knows what to do and when to do it. You have something tangible to work off of and goals/deadlines to work towards.
Prevents Stalling – It keeps the other side from slowing things down or using delay as a tactic, ultimately creating accountability.
Your clients will appreciate you, your effort to move things along, and something tangible to look at for an estimated timeline of their case.
