status conference(в ходе производства по делу до судебного разбирательства: The status conference is a pre-trial meeting of attorneys before a judge required under federal rules of procedure and in many states required to inform the court as to how the case is proceeding, what discovery has been conducted (depositions, interrogatories, production of documents), any settlement negotiations, probable length of trial and other matters relevant to moving the case toward trial. Court rules usually require the filing of a status conference statement prior to the conference. In federal courts the status conference is also the occasion for setting a trial date.Alex_Odeychuk)
