(Added Feb. 28, 1966, eff. July 1, 1966; amended Mar. 9, 1987, eff. Aug. 1, 1987; Apr. 29, 2002, eff. Dec. 1, 2002.) NOTES OF ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON RULES—1966 This new rule establishes a basis for pretrial con- xxxxxxxx with counsel for the parties in criminal cases within the discretion of the court. Pretrial conferences are now being utilized to some extent even in the ab- sence of a rule. See, generally, Xxxxxxxx, Criminal Pre- Trials—Useful Techniques, 29 F.R.D. 442 (1962); Estes, Pre-Trial Conferences in Criminal Cases, 23 F.R.D. 560 (1959); Xxxxxxx, Pre-Trial in Criminal Cases, 23 F.R.D. 551 (1959); Xxxxxxx, Pre-Trial in Criminal Cases, 42 J.Am.Jud.Soc. 150 (1959); Xxxxxxx, The Appalachian Trial: Further Observations on Pre-Trial in Criminal Cases, 44 J.Am.Jud.Soc. 53 (1960); West, Criminal Pre- Trials—Useful Techniques, 29 F.R.D. 436 (1962); Hand- book of Recommended Procedures for the Trial of Pro- tracted Cases, 25 F.R.D. 399–403, 468–470 (1960). Cf. Mo.Sup.Ct. Rule 25.09; Rules Governing the N.J. Courts, § 3:5–3. The rule is cast in broad language so as to accommo- date all types of pretrial conferences. As the third sen- tence suggests, in some cases it may be desirable or necessary to have the defendant present. See Commit- tee on Pretrial Procedure of the Judicial Conference of the United States, Recommended Procedures in Xxxxx- nal Pretrials, 37 F.R.D. 95 (1965). NOTES OF ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON RULES—1987 AMENDMENT The amendments are technical. No substantive change is intended. COMMITTEE NOTES—2002 AMENDMENT The language of Rule 17.1 has been amended as part of the general restyling of the Criminal Rules to make them more easily understood and to make style and terminology consistent throughout the rules.
