How Do They Set Court Dates?
Court dates are set by way of a somewhat unique calendaring system in Mecklenburg County. The Magistrate who sets the conditions of bond prepares a Release Order, which if you look through your paperwork is blue in color. All the terms and conditions for the release are set forth within the blue Release Order. The Release Order also provides the First Appearance Date in Courtroom 1130. All DWI cases receive an Administrative Hearing Date in either Courtroom 1130 or 1150.
