Legal Question in Criminal Law in Rhode Island

"Passed" simply means the case was "passed" off the calendar to be read in court that day. Could be for any number of reasons. I expect you will in due course receive a new notice with a new hearing date. Suggest you contact the Public Defender assigned to your case with any further questions.

IMPORTANT NOTE: An attorney-client relationship may only be formed upon execution of a formal written Collaborative Representation Agreement. Email or electronic communication alone does not constitute, and an inquiry does not create, any attorney-client relationship.

In the event you wish to seek our services, we would need to review our records to determine whether representing you would create a conflict with an existing client, and whether your matter is one we wish to undertake. We also would need to agree on compensation.

Accordingly, since email or electronic communication alone shall not be considered to create an attorney-client relationship, you should not send us any confidential information unless and until an attorney-client relationship is established. Information sent before an attorney-client relationship is established may be determined not to be confidential. �
