0:24 3:08 Four judges have a lot of discretion. When it comes to granting continuences. They need to balanceMoreFour judges have a lot of discretion. When it comes to granting continuences. They need to balance the need for efficiency. And a speedy trial with the need for fairness. And adequate preparation.
Therefore, there is no limit to the number of continuances that may be granted. Likewise, there is no absolute right to any continuances at all. The determination of whether to grant a continuance is solely within the discretion of the judge.
This could be vital in gathering conclusive evidence, negotiating a plea, or refining their trial strategy. Court-appointed attorneys can usually request up to three resets, while private defense attorneys have the capacity to request one more, totaling four resets.
But how many continuances are allowed in court? Well, that depends on your case. Generally, the judge has the discretion to issue or deny a continuance. Therefore, you can get several continuances during your civil case or none, depending on why you have requested a continuance.
