How Can I Change My Connecticut Court Date? If you are unable to make your court date for a Connecticut arrest, then you MUST call the Case Flow Coordinator Clerk at the Superior Court clerk's office. The Case Flow clerk is usually the man or woman in charge of all court case scheduling.

Usually for medical or family emergencies, but these continuance requests must be made in advance. The Case Flow Coordinator will consult with the presiding judge on whether or not your request may be granted. You usually cannot call the day of your scheduled court appearance and expect a continuance to be granted.

You don't do yourself any favors by challenging the court to give you the most severe penalties by skipping a court date. If you fail to appear, a judge will almost always issue a bench warrant for your arrest.
