Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California
What period of time is represented by a legal reference to "the time to obtain a court order" (in California?)
Where would it be found in law?
Thank you

Court starts at 8:30 A.M., so that would be the best time to attempt to obtain your court order. But call the clerk's office at your local courthouse for this information.
When you post a question in a vacuum, a horrendous sound emanates, and pieces of detritus get sucked up, in an effort to fill the void. You need to provide a context for your question!
The time to obtain a court order depends on what kind of court order you are looking for. For example, a party can get a restraining order when the courts open, but a preliminary injunction will take a noticed motion, filed and served at least 16 court days before the hearing, and longer depending on the manner of service of your papers. A full judgment can take anywhere from one year to 18 months to obtain.
Please repost with more information as to what type of order you are seeking, and please be more detailed and specific.
