What is calendar practice?
I need to restore a case to the court calendar.
Answer
Calendar practice refers to the timelines for discovery, settlement offers, conferences and trial. It also covers restoring a case to the calendar when a party has missed a hearing and the judge has issued a judgment. The best way to learn about calendar practice in the New York State court system is to read 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.
