The District of Delaware's 2025 Bench and Bar is set for September 25-26, 2025. Yesterday, as we predicted, the Court issued an order moving all filing and service deadlines for those days to the following Monday, and directing the Court not to set deadlines on those days:
WHEREAS, the Court having announced that it will host its biennial District of Delaware Bench and Bar Conference on September 25 and 26, 2025, and the Court wishing to promote the participation of as many members of the Bar as possible;
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that all members of the court - District, Magistrate, and Bankruptcy Judges - will, to the greatest extent possible, cancel and refrain from scheduling court proceedings and filing deadlines on the two days of the Conference. Absent further order from the presiding judge in any particular matter, any filing or service obligation otherwise failing on September 25 or 26, 2025, is HEREBY MODIFIED to be Monday, September 29, 2025.
This tracks the order the Court issued last time.
Delaware practitioners, be sure to check your calendars for deadlines that would otherwise fall on those dates, and to avoid using those dates in scheduling orders going forward!
