Answer
Calendar practice refers to the timelines for discovery, settlement offers, conferences and trial. It also covers restoring to calendar when a party has missed a hearing and the judge has issued a judgment. Calendar Practice in the New York State Court System requires reading the Civil Practice Law and Rules (CPLR) and state and local court rules. Calendar practice is governed by CPLR art 34 and 22 NYCRR 202.1 et seq
