    • Summary:"The Law of Adjournments: A Manual on Postponement is national in scope and provides an in-depth look at the jurisprudence and legislation from the various jurisdictions across the country. Because the granting of requests for adjournments is discretionary, readers will benefit from the analysis of the case law on the subject and the examination of the reasoning behind the rulings.
      An entire section of The Law of Adjournments: A Manual on Postponement is devoted to the various possible reasons for adjournments, from the party seeking the adjournment failing to retain counsel, to illness, to needing to obtain further evidence, as well as how these grounds apply differently to the lawyer and the client. The authors also provide guidance on best procedural practices for advancing and opposing motions for adjournments. A final section addresses the issue of costs in the context of adjournments."--pub. desc.
