Adjournments

Requests for adjournments are discouraged, but will be considered for good cause. An adjournment request received less than 48 hours before the scheduled proceeding will not be considered unless there is a verifiable emergency. 

To request an adjournment of a formal hearing, criminal pretrial, bench trial, jury trial, exam, pre-exam conference or sentencing, please complete an Order for Adjournment, then fax or email to the Court. Any additional questions, contact the Criminal Department at 586-445-5020. Please note that if the 21-day requirement has not been waived on an exam, an adjournment cannot be granted.
