If you need a continuance for your trial, you must put the request in writing and submit it to the Court with your reasons 7 days before a jury trial or 2 days before a bench trial. The Judge will make the decision whether or not to grant the continuance.
Requesting a Continuance
You may request a continuance for the following reasons:
- A religious holy day where the tenets of your religious organization prohibit a member from participating in secular activities such as court proceedings (an affidavit stating this information must be filed with the Court)
- You feel it is necessary for justice in your case
