Rule 570.1. Certification of Trial List/Pre-Trial Conference.

 On or before the date established by the Court Calendar, the District Attorney shall submit the Trial List consisting of those cases to be attached for trial during the next Criminal Term. The Court will promptly enter an order for each case on the list, attaching the parties and counsel for trial and giving notice of the important dates for the Criminal Term for which the case is attached. A Defendant may, by motion filed with the Clerk of Courts, at any time request that a case be added to the next available Trial List. (Note: Cases in which the Commonwealth has charged murder as defined in 18 Pa.C.S.A. § 2502 shall not be included on the Trial List, but shall, instead, proceed pursuant to Sch.R.Crim.P. 560(f).)

 Motions for continuances shall be heard and pretrial conferences shall be conducted on the dates and times established by the Court Calendar. The pretrial conference with a member of the Court shall be conducted for all cases that were attached for trial and not removed by the granting of a continuance, the filing of a timely guilty plea petition or motion for an A.R.D., or by entry of an order of Court removing the case. For those cases remaining on the Trial List, the conference shall be attended by the attorneys who will try the case and by the defendants.

 It shall be the duty of each party, prior to the pretrial conference, to verify the availability of all necessary witnesses for trial and to notify the Court at the conference of all scheduling problems, contemplated motions and other matters that may affect the scheduling of the trial. The Court may decline to consider scheduling problems and requests which are not brought to the Court's attention at the pretrial conference.
