What term refers to the list of cases scheduled to be heard by the court?

• A. Answer
• B. Calendar
• C. Complaint
• D. Certification

Answer: (B)

The term refers to the schedule of cases set to be heard by the court. In court practice, the calendar (often called the court’s calendar or docket) is the timetable listing which cases will be heard, when appearances are required, and what proceedings—motions, hearings, or trials—are planned for specific dates. It helps the judge, attorneys, and court staff know what is on the docket and when to appear.

This is distinct from an answer, which is the defendant’s formal reply to the complaint, and from the complaint itself, which is the initial pleading that starts a civil action. Certification refers to a procedural step used to designate a matter for a particular handling or review, not to the schedule of cases.
