- Scaffold the scheduling document that places a motion on the Georgia court's calendar (terminology varies by state — Notice of Hearing, Note for Motion Docket, Notice of Motion, etc.).

+ This skill should be used to scaffold a Georgia scheduling document —

+ a Notice of Hearing or the Rule Nisi presented for the judge's

+ signature. Triggers include "notice of hearing Georgia", "rule nisi",

+ "draft a rule nisi Georgia", "draft a notice of hearing for my

+ motion", "set my motion for hearing Georgia", "Georgia hearing notice

+ for a motion to compel". Produces the Notice of Hearing / Rule Nisi

+ that identifies the underlying motion, the date, time, and place set

+ by the court, and the certificate of service, and explains how the

+ Notice of Hearing pairs with the Rule Nisi the judge signs under USCR

+ 6.3 / 6.4.

+ # Draft a Georgia Notice of Hearing / Rule Nisi

> **NOT LEGAL ADVICE.** This skill scaffolds a court document

> as a drafting aid. The user — not the skill — chooses the

> motion type, theory of relief, and strategy. Verify every

> rule, deadline, and citation against current law before

> filing. Pair with substantive review by counsel where stakes

- ## State context

+ Use this skill in addition to `ga-statewide-format` when a motion

+ requires a hearing date to be placed on the court's calendar. In

+ Georgia, a party requesting oral argument requests it within the

+ response period (USCR 6.3); the hearing date is then set by the court.

+ Two paired documents do the work:

- - **State**: Georgia

- - **Format rule**: O.C.G.A. § 9-11-10 + Uniform Superior Court Rules

- - **Civil rules**: Georgia Civil Practice Act (O.C.G.A. Title 9, Ch. 11)

- - **Evidence rules**: Georgia Evidence Code (O.C.G.A. Title 24)

- - **Style manual**: Georgia appellate citation (Bluebook-based)

+ |---|---|---|---|

- ## What to author

+ The filer commonly prepares the **Rule Nisi** in proposed form and

+ submits it with the motion; the judge signs it, fixing the date. The

+ **Notice of Hearing** then transmits that date to the parties with a

+ certificate of service. (When the matter calls for the judge's signed

+ ruling rather than a scheduling order, see `ga-draft-order`.)
