CHANGE IN BOULDER MUNICIPAL COURT PRE-TRIAL PROCESS

In an effort to streamline the pre-trial negotiation process, the Boulder Municipal Court will no longer schedule pre-trial conferences. Defendants requesting a pre-trial conference will be scheduled for a disposition/trial setting date on the Court’s docket and directed to contact the City Attorney’s Office to schedule a pre-trial conference or meeting at a date and time convenient to the parties. It will be the parties’ responsibility to conclude plea negotiations before the disposition/trial setting date. At the disposition/trial setting date, the Court will receive any plea agreement reached by the parties or set the case for trial. Defendants who appear at arraignment and wish to speak with a prosecutor will still have that opportunity.
