Court Event Terminology Explained

Summary

When a court event is marked as vacated, it means the scheduled hearing or event has been canceled and will not occur on that date. It may be rescheduled or deemed unnecessary. An arraignment on information occurs after a preliminary hearing in felony cases, where the prosecutor files a formal document outlining charges. During this arraignment, the defendant is informed of the charges and asked to enter a plea. Consult a local attorney for personalized advice.
