What is a court adjournment?
Court adjournment can mean either of the following: 1) if an adjournment is sine die (final), the court has permanently concluded its business for a particular trial, hearing or other activity; or 2) the court is postponing the remainder of the proceedings until another appointed date, whether the next day or months in the future.An adjournment should not be confused with a recess, which means a short break in the proceedings, with court resuming on the same day.Some jurisdictions recognize the concept of "adjournment in contemplation of dismissal" (ACD), which mean a trial is postponed while the defendant performs some ordered prerequisite (e.g., community service) to dismissal. If the activity is performed to the court's satisfaction, and no further bad acts are committed, the case may be dismissed without a plea. If the activity is not performed to the court's satisfaction, or if the person reoffends, the trial will proceed at an appointed time. In essence, an ACD ruling imposes a period of probation on the defendant beforethe defendant goes to trial, without a plea of guilty or not guilty.
