 The '''pre-trial conference''' is a procedural appearance for LSLAP files to confirm there is a trial supervising lawyer and that the matter is indeed going to trial, that there are no disclosure issues, and that ''Charter'' challenge notices have been given.
-The clinician is encouraged to, but need not attend the PTC. Clinicians are reminded that they must give notice of any ''Charter'' challenges at '''least 14 days''' prior to the trial date. In addition, '''a trial supervising lawyer must be confirmed by the PTC in order for LSLAP to confirm the trial date.'''

 It can be many months between the fixing of a trial date and the trial. The clinician must endeavour to remain in contact with the client during this long time period. LSLAP requires that the clinician contact the client '''2 weeks''' before the PTC to make sure the contact information has not changed and that the client knows when to appear in court.
