Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Status conference" in English language version.
Status conference is a meeting that occurs before trial where attorneys from opposing parties and sometimes a judge meet. The nature of a status conference often will depend on the type of case. A status conference in a criminal case will often consist of prosecution and defense attorneys exchanging evidence, but they sometimes may involve discussing plea bargains. In civil cases, status conferences can involve exchanging evidence, stipulating to certain terms, and starting negotiations on a settlement agreement. Sometimes a judge will attend a status conference to give their opinion on plea or settlement offers and setting timelines for other pre-trial matters.
If parties miss their Status Conference hearing or if they attend their hearing but need more time to bring their case into compliance, the hearing is continued to the Non-Compliance Calendar. The case will remain in non-compliance until parties comply with the order, or until a judge orders otherwise. Failure to comply with the order or attend the hearing may result in the case being dismissed
