I need help with a civil case in pretrial?

What do i need to do? I am a pro se plaintiff against a former employer and the judge sent this and I have no formal education of law: Pursuant to Rule 16, FED.R.CIV.P., a Rule 16 scheduling conference is set for Tuesday, October 23, 2007 at 10:00 a.m. In preparation for this case management conference, it is hereby ordered as follows: A. Initial Disclosures.
The parties shall provide initial disclosures in the form and on the schedule
required by Rule 26(a)(1), FED.R.CIV.P. The parties shall file with the Clerk of Court a
Notice of Initial Disclosure; copies of the actual disclosures need not be filed.
B. Rule 26(f) Meeting and Case Management Report.
The parties are directed to meet and confer at least 10 days before the
scheduling conference as required by Rule 26(f), FED.R.CIV.P. At this meeting the parties
1 If jurisdiction is based on diversity of citizenship, the report shall develop a joint Case Management Report

The fed rules require voluntary discovery...you NEED to read the rules if you're going to proceed pro se (which I would not recommend)...get them on line or go to your county law library and get a librarian to help you. You will need to give the other side all your supporting documentation for your claim and other discovery as required by the Rules.

If you don't have a lawyer, get one. You have a court date soon and they want a lot of paperwork. Call the court and ask for assistance in how to obtain and prepare this paperwork. Go in person if you have to; there are usually people there to assist. You have to get this info ready. Get a lawyer or go to the court right away.

Because to instruct you on this would not only be a discertation but would probably complicate you more, I will simply say that you really need to get a lawyer to help you. Also, if you do this, the judge might actually give you more time to prepare these things.

There are books on how to represent yourself in court from www.nolo.com

Good luck.
