Short answer
Search your court notices, email, mail, court portal if you use one, and recent papers. If you still cannot find it, use official court contact or self-help resources.
Search your papers
Look at hearing notices, orders, filed papers, and envelopes.
Search for words like hearing, conference, date, or notice.
Search digital places
Check email, downloads, photos, scanned files, and any court portal you use.
Search by case number, court name, or party name.
Write possible dates
If you find more than one date, write each one down with the source.
Do not rely on an old date without checking the source.
Use official help
If the date is still unclear, use official court contact information or local self-help resources.
