Call-over or Call-over list

Call-over or Call-over list

If there are a lot of cases listed on a particular day in court, the judge or magistrate may do a ‘call-over’ of the cases, which means they call the parties (or their lawyers) in each case, one at a time, to stand at the bar table and tell the judge or magistrate something about the case. The ‘call-over list’ is the list of all the cases on that day.
