Rule 24.12. Misdemeanors or Felonies – Pretrial Conference

At any time after the filing of the indictment or information the court upon motion of any party or upon its own motion may order one or more conferences to consider such matters as will promote a fair and expeditious trial. The court shall make a record of the matters agreed upon. No admission made by the defendant or his attorney at a conference shall be used against the defendant unless the admissions are reduced to writing and signed by the defendant and his attorney. This Rule shall not be invoked unless the defendant is represented by counsel.

Committee Notes

This is substantially the same as Fed.R.Crim.P. 17.1. Compare: Prior Rule 25.09.
