If you want to file a motion, the process is generally something like this: You write your motion. You file your motion with the court clerk. The court clerk inserts the date and time your motion will be heard by the judge. You serve (mail) your motion to the other side.
This tells the court that there are still disagreements between you and the other party, and a Hearing or Trial is necessary to settle the things you and the other party do not agree about.
During this hearing, the judge makes sure both your Los Angeles criminal defense lawyer and the prosecution are ready to proceed. The judge also hears any legal arguments related to the motion your lawyer has to make.
A motion is an application to the court made by the prosecutor or defense attorney, requesting that the court make a decision on a certain issue before the trial begins. The motion can affect the trial, courtroom, defendants, evidence, or testimony. Only judges decide the outcome of motions.
To have your case go to trial, you need to ask for or have the judge give you a date for the trial (called setting the case for trial). Each court has its own process for how you need to set a case for trial. Many courts have you prepare a local form, serve it, and file it to have a court date set.
