Answer to Question 1

Answer: The strong and weak points of the case are discussed in an effort to arrive at a settlement without going
to trial. With court calendars becoming more and more crowded, greater use is being made of the
pretrial conference in criminal matters. As the trial date approaches, the trial judge will often call for a
pretrial conference. During this conference, the judge will determine whether both sides will be ready for
trial on the date set or if a continuance will be requested. The judge will also try to ascertain the
approximate number of days each side anticipates taking to present its case. By gathering this
information, the judge will be better able to set other cases for trial and decide whether alternate jurors
should be selected.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: prosecuting attorney
