Description:
California preliminary hearings must be done in a timely fashion. But what are the time limits? What is the remedy when time limits are violated?
All adult criminal trials are also supposed to occur in a timely fashion; once a charging document is filed, the defendant is to be arraigned timely, and once the arraignment occurs, the trial should occur within a specified period of time.But what if there is an excessive pre-filing delay? What about post-filing delay; what is the appropriate remedy? What if good cause for a continuance has been shown to the court; how does that fit into the discussion?
The law governing these issues are a sometimes confusing mix of statutory and constitutional law, and this webinar will seek to clear up the confusion and give you a straightforward analysis of all relevant time limits. Included in the discussion will be issues regarding good cause and continuances.
