Judicial Survey Questions

KAR Q20: What, if any, expert discovery deadlines do you set at the initial scheduling conference? When do you typically set a schedule for the filing of Daubert motions?

KAR A20: I generally set expert disclosure deadlines at the initial scheduling conference. Because I think Daubert motions are the province of the trial judge, and I manage pre-trial scheduling for the presiding district judge, I only set Daubert deadlines when the parties propose this as part of their proposed pre-trial schedule.
