  1. DAC, it would be awesome if you could get someone in the Co. Atty's office to give you THEIR weekly trial dockets to add to yours.

  2. You know, I have never worked in the county attorneys' office, so I asked about the possibility of this.

    I was told it's not a workable reality. First, I'd have to ask someone to figure out what's on each trial court's docket, and because no one knows me down there I have no favors to call in!

    I think a larger obstacle even is that trials come and go so quickly, and cases are called at such short notice, that it'd be hard to have a reliable list in advance. I just learned that sometimes courts hold two trials in a week, depending on the length of the first that goes. I think it'd be a full-time job keeping track of that. I'm lucky to have a list emailed to me every week by a colleague, something he puts together regardless of my posting it.
