Recording and broadcasting
Courtwide
Federal district courts may not permit courtroom photography or broadcasting during criminal judicial proceedings unless a statute or another federal rule provides an exception.

Trial exhibits and witnesses
It is the uniform practice of the magistrate judges in the Southern District of New York to schedule trials in civil consent cases for firm dates, rather than requiring counsel to be available for trial on short notice. Additionally, because magistrate judges rarely try criminal cases, such firm trial dates are unlikely to be changed to accommodate criminal trials. Should the parties wish to consent to have Judge Krause hear their case for all purposes, the necessary form is available at https://nysd.uscourts.gov/hon-andrew-e-krause.

For discovery motions, follow Local Civil Rule 37.2, which requires the moving party to request an informal conference with the Court before the filing of any such motion.

The parties should be prepared to describe the time, place, and duration of their efforts to resolve the dispute.

Source page 3Motion practice
A. Pre-Motion Conferences. For motions other than discovery motions, a pre- motion conference is not required. A party may request a pre-motion conference by letter motion where counsel believes that an informal conference with the Court may obviate the need for the motion or limit the scope of issues in dispute.
Source page 3Motion practice
B. Briefing Schedule on Formal (Non-Discovery) Motions. Unless the Court has ordered otherwise, opposition and reply papers for formal (non-discovery) motions are due in accordance with Local Civil Rule 6.1.

The person preparing the certificate may rely on the word count of the word-processing program used to prepare the document. The certificate must state the number of words in the document.

1. In jury cases, parties must jointly prepare and file three separate documents: (a) proposed requests to charge; (b) proposed voir dire questions to be asked of prospective jurors; and (c) a proposed verdict form. To the extent a party objects to another party’s requests to charge, voir dire questions, or verdict form, the joint submission must include the objecting party’s ground(s) for objection and proposed alternative (all in the same document so that the Court can compare the parties’ respective proposals). All requests to charge, objections, and alternatives must include citations to controlling authority. The proposed voir dire questions must include a short summary of the case—no more than two or three sentences—to be read to prospective jurors during the jury selection process.
