Re: Lawyer forgets to show up to trial
The action of the court would depend upon the judge, the purpose of the appearance, and the local court attitude. The course of action to be taken would depend upon the action taken by the court. If the case was dismissed or a judgment entered, then immediate action must be taken to set aside the court order.
