calendar call
Calendar call is a pre-trial meeting that is held by a judge with the attorneys of both the parties in a case to schedule a date for trial or hearing, and to arrange some other pre-trial details. Generally, a court session is held in which numerous cases are set for a calendar call at the same time and the judge schedules each of the cases for trial or hearing depending on the status of each case.

Calendar calls are a standard legal procedure for almost all court cases and are particularly important in criminal cases. Under the Sixth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, a criminal defendant has a right to a speedy trial and quick calendaring ensures that the defendant is not held in custody for an unreasonably long time.

I'm so confused as to why these hearings/trials keep getting delayed. The positive part is, someone is making sure they're not out on the street being able to harm more people.

I'm so scared this might drag on so long that they end up being released. MOO

In the last few weeks, quite a few trials for more recent murders have taken place and concluded.

The lead DA in the case against Ahmad Aubrey's murder joined the Richmond County DA's office some time ago.
