What Must a Certificate of Conference Include?

If a conference is required in connection with a motion, a certificate of conference must be included.  The certificate of conference must (i) indicate that the motion is unopposed or opposed; (ii) if the motion is opposed, the certificate must state that a conference was held, indicate the date of conference and the identities of the attorneys conferring, and explain why agreement could not be reached; and (iii) if a conference was not held, the certificate must explain why it was not possible to confer, in which event the motion will be presumed to be opposed.  See L.R. 7.1(b).
