Court Calendar at Legal Glossary
What is it? A list of the cases and hearings that will be held by a court on a particular day, week or month. Because the length of time it will take to conduct a particular hearing or trial is at best a guess and many courts have a number of judges, accurately scheduling cases is difficult, with the result that court calendars are often revised and cases are often heard later than initially planned. A court calendar is sometimes called a docket, trial schedule or trial list.Law Definition Added By: Keira

Other Similar Legal Terms:
Law Terms anticipation is In patent law, a situation in which an invention is anticipated by being too similar to an earlier invention to be considered novel. Because novelty is a requirement for a patent, anticipated inventions are not patentable. Anticipation can occur when a prior invention or printed publication matches all of the primary characteristics of the invention, or it can happen when the invention is displayed or offered for sale more than a year prior to filing a patent application. For example, a bird owner invents a device to keep her bird from picking at its tail feathers. She applies for a patent, but her application is rejected on the ground that the same device was in use 3500 years ago in Egypt. In patent-speak, the inventors creation has been anticipated by previous developments (the prior art.)Law Terms legacy is An outdated legal word meaning personal property left by a will. The more common term for this type of property is bequest. Compare devise.
Law Terms nonobviousness is A requirement for obtaining a patent. An invention is nonobvious if it would be viewed as an unexpected or surprising development by someone skilled in the technology of the particular field. For example, Babe Ruth III invents an electronic device that can signal whether a pitch is a ball or a strike. Babes patent application is rejected on the ground that similar technology has been developed for television commentators and that Babes invention extending these prior art developments to the game itself is obvious (in patent-speak, it lacks nonobviousness) and is therefore not patentable.
Law Terms springing durable power of attorney is A durable power of attorney that takes effect only when and if the principal becomes incapacitated.
Law Terms finders fee is A fee charged by real estate brokers and apartment-finding services in exchange for locating a rental property. These fees are permitted by law. Some landlords, however, charge finders fees merely for renting a place. This type of charge is not legitimate and, in some areas, is specifically declared illegal.
