Legal analysis: Generally, lawyers will know the court date after filing a case, and then the judge will inform them in advance before each court session. Generally, lawyers will take the initiative to communicate the next court date. I had been notified in advance so I just had to get to court when it started.
Legal basis: Article 208 of the Criminal Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China. When a people's court hears a public prosecution case, it shall pronounce a judgment within two months after accepting the case, and no more than three months at the latest.
