    Default Re: Lawyer Called Left Message

    If you go to court, odds are you are going to find that the case was adjourned and that you wasted the trip. It could also be that the lawyer will be in court anyway, and intends to (or, given the timing, has to) request the adjournment in person -- it's late to be asking for an adjournment, and you have not signed any stipulation to adjourn.

    Check the court's website if they have an online docket, or call the clerk before close of business to see if the adjournment went through. Keep in mind that online dockets are often not updated in real time.

    If the case is not adjourned by the close of business, and you have time before you have to leave for your court hearing, check again.
