Counsel or parties must appear at settlement conferences fully familiar with the case, with authority to settle, and must engage in good faith settlement negotiations (22 NYCRR 202.26). Parties and claims representatives must be available by telephone at the time of the conference. Prior to trial, counsel shall confer in good faith to identify matters not in contention, resolve disputed questions without need for Court intervention, and discuss settlement (22 NYCRR 202.26). Following filing of a note of issue and where applicable after a non-fully-disposing summary judgment decision, the case will be referred to Part 40 for a pre-trial conference. Parties interested in pursuing Court ADR should contact the Part Clerk.",,"[""settlement-conferences"", ""pre-trial-conference"", ""mediation""]","[""22 NYCRR 202.26""]",1,New York,supreme,part_rules
