ADJOURNMENT IN CONTEMPLATION OF DISMISSAL INFORMATION SHEETAdjournment in Contemplation of Dismissal • October 2nd, 2008
An Adjournment in Contemplation of Dismissal (an “ACOD”) is an agreement between the District Attorney’s office and the defense, to have your case adjourned for 6 months (or in the case of certain marijuana cases 12 months) with a view toward having the case ultimately dismissed. If the District Attorney’s office offers you an ACOD, the choice as to whether to accept it is up to you.
