Practice question
The court sets trial dates and informs present parties and witnesses in open court through the prescribed order. A lawyer seeks delay solely to wait for a redundant notice despite that recorded notification. Which is best?
- An open-court notification can never matter
- Present parties may ignore every announced date
- A lawyer’s preference automatically vacates trial dates
- The court applies the Guidelines’ actual notice and scheduling provisions rather than assume a fresh notice is always required
- Notice is never necessary to any absent person
