    Default Court Dates And Whether Or Not To Appear

    Upon being released from jail for a PI I was given a court date by the county jail. After hiring a lawyer he tells me a couple days before my court date that I do not need to appear in court on the scheduled day because the prosecutors office has not confirmed the date yet. I was told that I would receive word either from my lawyer or in the mail of my date to appear in court.

    Can anyone explain this process to me at all? I know I should just ask my lawyer but I'm looking for any opinions on the matter I can get.

    Default Court Date

    The specifics can vary by jurisdiction. Sometimes court dates are adjourned by the court, for one reason or another. After your lawyer files an appearance, again depending upon local procedure, court notices may be sent to your lawyer and not to you. That appears to be what is happening in your jurisdiction.
