Judge Karen Gren Scholer -- U.S. District Court, Northern District of Texas
warning
Key Traps — Where Counsel Gets Caught
- 1. Judge Scholer conducts preliminary scheduling conferences in nearly all civil cases. Although Scheduling Conferences may be conducted virtually on occasion upon request, Judge Scholer prefers to conduct them in person. Leave to appear virtually will not be granted absent extraordinary circumstances.
- 2. Submitting a proposed agreed scheduling order does not excuse counsel from attending the Scheduling Conference.
- 3. Proposed orders must accompany all non-dispositive motions and responses opposing non-dispositive motions. The orders must be submitted in modifiable "Word" format to Scholer_Orders@txnd.uscourts.gov.
