Courts deal with humans, and humans miss appointments. To account for this fact of life, courts should consider operating like every other industry — e.g., medical, voting, licensing, housing, mechanics, beauty, etc. — by offering two types of flexibility: flexible scheduling before the date, and extending grace periods after a missed appointment to allow people to appear before warrants are issued.
