The _________ places a case on the trial calendar.

The _________ places a case on the trial calendar.

• A. Filing of note of issue
• B. Notice of trial date
• C. Motion for trial date
• D. Judgment entry

Answer: (A)

In civil procedure, the act that places a case on the trial calendar is the filing of a note of issue. This filing signals that all discovery is complete and the case is ready for trial, prompting the court to place it on the calendar and assign a trial date. The notice of trial date merely informs parties of a scheduled date after the case is already on calendar; a motion for trial date is a request to set or change a date and may come later; a judgment entry occurs after the trial or decision, not to initiate scheduling.
