To get a new date for your trial you or your representative has to go into the court before the trial date (I think it's 5 business days before, but i can't remember specifically), you go to the administration counter and they give you a form which you must then submit to the prosecutors office in the courthouse. You then get a date in court where you appear before a judge and explain why the original date must be changed. Then you get a new court date. This is the procedure that I had to follow at the Old City Hall courthouse about 4 years ago for a speeding ticket trial. It was scheduled during my exams for university but I didn't have to present any proof of that.

^^^ been there 2 years ago, and just walked in to change the date as my friend had an exam.

its easy anyway u do it, i guess the way kane2k mentioned is more of a safe guarded approach

let me get this stright
so basically i can have someone go to court on my scheduled trial date and request a date change on my behalf on the date of trial?
what if the officer is present?

doesnt matter if the cop is there or not..... u will get a new date set for ur trial if someone is there on your behalf
