(1) The court will hold an initial case management conference

(a) To minimize the costs and facilitate a manageable
conference, parties with similar interests may agree
on a single attorney to act on their joint behalf at
the conference. A party will not, by so designating
an attorney to represent its interests on November
14, be precluded from other representation during
the litigation; and attendance at the conference
will not waive objections to jurisdiction, venue or
service.
