Anyone here regularly practice in Alameda County Superior Court? This is my first time in that particular court and I could use some advice as to the procedure for requesting an informal discovery conference. Local rules don’t provide a whole lot of guidance on this.

Informal discovery conferences are no longer a thing. Statute that authorized them, off the top of my head CCP 2016.080, was repealed automatically January 1 2023. Authorization for IDCs was not extended by Legislature. Enjoy your formal motion to compel practice.

Andddd I just realized how old this post was.

Guys i am switching jobs for first time so need your help
Company x offered me 9 LPA
Company y offered 11 LPA

I want to join company x more due to their tech stack, culture etc. It's also an established product based company while y is service based.
How do I initiate negotiations with x? I have plenty of time left in notice, but x also requested to join early (if previous company releases, with buyout+bonus) for which I have discussions next Wednesday.
