what legal term is acd
Mike: The program is not very sophisticated in New York. There can be conditions attached to an ACD. Basically, it stands for âAdjournment in Contemplation of Dismissal.â The case is usually adjourned for 6 to 12 months with a shoplifting case (petit larceny), itâs usually adjourned for six months. During those six months, the case is still pending.
