The Court may set any pre trial and status conferences it deems necessary or appropriate upon written or oral motion by the state, the defendant or itself.
If a defendant fails to appear at a pre trial or criminal motion setting for which they have been served personally or through their attorney, an attachment will be issued for their arrest and the bond for this attachment shall be in an amount doubled that of the original bond set for the charge. If the original bond was set as a release on their own recognizance bond then the bond for the attachment shall be Cash, property or Surety only. Any counsel who had notice and fails to appear may be appropriately sanctioned. The presence of both the client and attorney are required at pre trial and status conferences unless either's presence is expressly waived by the Court.
