Court Rules

Adjournment & Extension Requirements

2413 rules across 23 courts

Adjournment and extension requirements dictate how to request additional time or reschedule court dates. Judges typically require advance notice (ranging from 24 hours to several business days), specific information about prior adjournments and the opposing party's position, and a proposed alternative date. Many judges require that last-minute requests (within 24 hours of a deadline) be made by phone rather than by letter. The number of previous adjournments and whether they were granted or denied is almost universally required. Some judges cap the total number of adjournments permitted per case.
