Act of Adjournal

Okay kiddo, so you know what a calendar is, right? It's where we keep track of days and weeks and months. Well, lawyers and judges have calendars too! They use a special kind of calendar called an "act of adjournal."

Basically, an act of adjournal is a list of all the court cases that will be heard on a specific day in a specific court. It tells everyone who is involved in the case when they need to be in court, what time the court will start, and what will happen during the hearing.

Sometimes, lawyers have to wait a long time for their case to be called because there are so many cases on the act of adjournal! It can be kind of boring, but it's important because without the act of adjournal, nobody would know when their case is supposed to be heard.

So, that's what an act of adjournal is - it's like a list of appointments for people who need to go to court!
