A strike trial date refers to a specific date set by a court to hear a case that has been designated for trial. The term "strike" often indicates that this date may be subject to change or cancellation, depending on various factors such as pre-trial motions, settlement negotiations, or scheduling conflicts. It is essentially a placeholder date for when the trial is expected to occur, but it may not be final.
Well, honey, at the assignment to set trial date, the judge basically picks a date for the trial to start. It's like scheduling a dentist appointment, but with more drama and less flossing. So, get your calendar ready because it's time to see who's bringing the popcorn to this legal showdown.
Another date will be set for a new trial
A trial date is typically set during a pre-trial conference or scheduling hearing, where the court considers the availability of all parties involved, including attorneys, witnesses, and the judge. The scheduling of a trial date also depends on the court calendar and any specific rules or procedures of the jurisdiction in which the case is being heard.
Find a new one. If the divorce litigation is pending but no trial date has been fixed, the court will probably give you some short amount of time to find a new lawyer to take over the case. You will have to show the court that you are making efforts to retain a new lawyer. Eventually the case will proceed whether or not you have a new attorney. If a trial date has been set, the attorney probably has to get leave of court before getting out of the case. If a trial date is imminent, some courts will not allow the lawyer to get out of the case, since changing attorneys at that late date involves delaying the disposition of the case unnecessarily.
Contact the court. Georgia courts generally don't send a summons to announce a criminal court date. Normally a Notice of Hearing or a subpoena is sent to the person and/or their attorney. A court date may not have been set yet. Unless a speedy trial demand has been filed, there is no time line between arrest and arraignment.
Yes. The court sends out an order setting the case for trial on a "docket". A docket is a list of cases that are scheduled for trial during a given period of time, often one or two weeks. More cases than can reasonably be heard are often set on the docket, because the court knows that a portion of them will settle, and trials will not be needed. However, if more of them that expected do go to trial, those that do not will be carried over to the next trial docket. In some cases, a matter is set for trial on a date certain, rather than on a docket. In either event, the court file will reflect an order specifying the trial date, or the date that the trial docket commences. Because the order is a part of the court file, it is typically a public record. As such, the court file can be viewed either in person, or in some jurisdictions, on line.
Yes, the trial has been vacated, which means it has been canceled or set aside, typically due to new evidence or legal issues.
arraignment
A status trial date is a scheduled court date set by a judge to review the progress of a case and determine if it is ready for trial. During this hearing, the parties involved may discuss any outstanding issues, such as discovery disputes or settlement negotiations. The judge may also set timelines for future proceedings or make rulings that could affect the trial schedule. Essentially, it serves as a check-in to ensure that the case is moving forward efficiently.
Yes they can set it whenever they want. Most of the time it depends on who the judge and prosecutor are. It also depends on how backed up the county is with trials already
Yes, if the DA pr Prosecutor determines that the case is not a proper or winnable case, he may request a dismissal even after a trial date has been fixed. (And the defendant would be thrilled).
