Pursuant to Montgomery County Court of Common Pleas local rule 200 – Trial Readiness  –  Civil Case Masters will be conducting case management/settlement conferences commencing in 2016. Initially, the Civil Case Masters will conduct conferences in cases in which attorneys have filed active status certificates. Thereafter, Civil Case Masters will conduct conferences approximately 11 months (arbitration cases) and 20 months (non-arbitration cases) after the filing of the lawsuit.

On December 4, 2015, President Judge William J. Furber, Jr. and Civil Administrative Judge Thomas M. DelRicci appointed the inaugural class of Civil Case Managers. The attorneys appointed were:

  • Robert F. Morris Esquire
  • Wendy G. Rothstein, Esquire

  • Daniel J. Sherry, Esquire
  • Michael G. Trachtman, Esquire
  • Paul C. Troy, Esquire
