May 13, 2021 | Family Law, Minnesota

(a) Except where the court orders the parties to use an Initial Case Management Conference (“ICMC”), within 60 days after the initial filing in a case, or sooner if the court requires, the parties shall file a Scheduling Statement that substantially conforms to the form developed by the state court administrator.
(b) In cases where the court orders the parties to use an Initial Case Management Conference, the parties shall comply with the order issued by the court as to what form to submit, its due date, and whether it should be filed or submitted to the court without filing.

Minn. Gen. R. Prac. 304.02

Amended effective January 1, 2014.

Advisory Committee Comment-2012 Amendments

Rule 304.02 is amended to reflect the more varied approaches to case management being used in Minnesota courts. The Initial Case Management Statement replaces the former Party’s Information Statement form and is intended to be a more flexible device for obtaining information to be used by the court in making case-management decisions. Supplemental information regarding local programs such as Early Case Management and/or Early Neutral Evaluation addressing may require submission of separate information on a separate time deadline.
