When Must I Meet and Confer with Opposing Counsel Before Filing My Motion?

“Before filing a motion, an attorney for the moving party must confer with an attorney for each party affected by the requested relief to determine whether the motion is opposed.  Conferences are not required for motions to dismiss, motions for judgment on the pleadings, motions for summary judgment, motions for new trial, or when a conference is not possible.”  See L.R. 7.1(a).
