Define: Law And Motion Calendar

A law and motion calendar is a scheduled court session where parties present legal arguments and motions before a judge concerning various procedural and substantive matters in a case. These matters can include pretrial motions, such as motions to dismiss, motions for summary judgement, motions to compel discovery, or motions to suppress evidence. During a law and motion calendar session, attorneys present their arguments and legal authorities supporting their positions, and the judge may ask questions or seek clarification on the issues raised. The judge then considers the arguments and evidence presented and issues rulings or decisions on the motions. Law and motion calendar sessions help streamline court proceedings by addressing procedural and legal issues efficiently and promoting the timely resolution of disputes.
