Adjournment is defined as a putting off of a court session session or other meeting or assembly until a later time.
If your lawyer tells you that your case been adjourned, it means you don't have to worry about the court date on the ticket. Actually, once you hire a lawyer and cooperate in the case you should not have to worry about dates and times; your lawyer will let you know when a date is important.
In traffic matters, lawyers often request adjournments to give them additional time to settle a case. While Courts tend to be liberal in granting an adjournment, repeated requests are often denied. Requests on short notice are also often denied as a matter of course.
The judge, lawyer, and client all want the same thing; to get the case over. So if you have a date set you should do your best to show up.
