A pretrial conference is held to determine if there are any motions which need to be ruled on; make sure the prosecutor and the defense attorney have exchanged appropriate documents; and basically make sure that everyone is on track for the trial. Many times pretrial conferences are handled by conference calls; however, some Judges require a formal pretrial conference at which the defendant is required to appear. The victim does not need to appear.
