Once discovery has been completed, the matter may be set for trial upon motion of the parties jointly or of the Petitioner alone. At the time of setting the trial date it is also best to coordinate submission of the matter on briefs or via live testimony with the possibility of a closed proceeding. Settling these logistical matters informally will reduce costs for your client by saving on filing fees and litigation time, but also makes your role easier by establishing rapport and cooperation with the court and the opposing parties.
