Massachusetts District Court Continuance
A motion for continuance seeks the postponement of a hearing, trial or other scheduled court proceeding.

SmartRules covers hundreds of common activities in Massachusetts District Court, part of the coverage available in SmartRules Federal Courts. SmartRules Federal Courts simplifies the rules for complying with codes, rules of court, civil procedure and local court rules, in a single search.
