The attorneys for all parties to a civil appeal to the supreme court shall discuss the possibilities for prompt settlement of all or part of the appeal. This discussion must occur by the date specified in the opening notice issued by the clerk of the appellate courts. The discussion may be conducted by telephone. If the parties reach settlement on any issue on appeal, they shall immediately file an appropriate notice with the clerk of the appellate courts. Otherwise, they shall file a certificate signed by all attorneys that the attorneys, with the knowledge of their clients, have discussed settlement as required by this rule. A settlement discussion is not required in an appeal filed under Rule 218(a)(3) or pursuant to AS 47.30.765 or AS 47.30.839, in an appeal in which a party is appearing pro se or in an appeal that is exempted by the court.
