What happens if the courts gives you 2 court dates at the same date and time.?

Im from Chicago and i had 2 court dates on April 1st at 9am at the same court building,1 on the 1st floor & 1 on the second floor. I knew about 1 of the court dates but i had no idea of the other. As a result i have a arrest warrant. What can i do?
Additional Details
I went to the court room on the first floor, saw the jugde and took care of that but i never made it to the other because i didnt know about it.

Honestly? If that happens, you KNOW you're in trouble - 1 summons is bad, 2 is terrible.

However, there should have been someone you could ring if you knew before hand. If not, then they couldn't possibly expect you to attend a summons they didn't tell you about.

I would appeal against the decision.

Get A LAWYER right away because no matter what they will issue a warrant for failing to appear I was once in jail and missed a court date cause the jail didn't know about it it was later dropped but the warrants are automatically signed out when you miss
