1 verbatim requirement on continuances.
Seventeenth Judicial Circuit — Judge Susan L. Alspector only. Practices change without notice; the court's own published text controls. Procedural information only; not legal advice.
Motions for Continuance: must be submitted to the Court with an attached order on or before the Wednesday PRIOR to Calendar Call. Counsel is required to confer with opposing counsel prior to filing a motion to continue and must state in the motion the results of the conferral. Only emergency written motions will be addressed thereafter. This applies to both defense counsel and state attorney requests. If a written continuance is granted, it is the filing attorney’s responsibility to notice the opposing counsel. If a written continuance is denied, the parties must appear at calendar call. Motions for continuance are highly discouraged once trial has been set and must be supported by good cause and documentation if needed to support the movant’s position.
