Are there any photographs of properly bound briefs, so that I know how to conform to what is expected? Maryland Rules do not go into sufficient detail.

The brief should be "spiral bound" along the left margin. Staples are not accepted. Any quality copy center or brief printer should be able to help you. And if you are the appellant--the brief cover must be yellow, as well as the record extract. The brief should be printed on ONLY one... View More
I like to know whether i should file a new suit or the entire case filed earlier will continue since the md court of special appeals vacated and remanded the judgment for further proceedings. I will obviously need to hire an attorney going forward. Yet i like to know my available recourse

answered on Dec 9, 2022
With a remand for further proceedings, you should not have to do anything. The circuit court will get the case back from appellate court, and the circuit court case will start up again. You should receive notice when that should happen.

answered on Nov 12, 2022
Usually, the notice of appeal is just that. A simple two sentence notice, with the case caption and signature and certificate of service. But in the information report or case summary report which usually has a strict deadline, that information is required.
I would like the case reopened. I was under duress. Attorneys and Judge failed to inform me that I had time to amend. Settled for lesser amount.

First, I am not a New York attorney. But if you have already agreed to a settlement, my impression is that you have also agreed to waive your appeal rights. However, I am not privy to the settlement documentations-- perhaps the appeal rights were not addressed. The fact that your attorney was on... View More

That usually means that there will be no oral arguments. The case will be reviewed only by the briefs.

If you succeed on appeal, the appeal court will issue an order detailing the next steps: remand, remand with instructions, reversal, dismissal, etc. The trial court will have to follow that order,

Your appeal will not be heard by the same judge. And the physical location of the hearing will be at the appeal courts building.
This is an abuse and neglect case. My rights were terminated, on appeal, the wv supreme court vacated the termination and remanded the case. Now the circuit court is making the same reversible error the sc remanded the case for. Will they remand it again with the same opinion? I'm worried my... View More

The trial court and the prosecutor are bound by the appellate court's opinion and order. If the trial court acts in a way that shows non-compliance with that order, the trial court risks censure.
And can I raise this in a second habeas corpus

There is no "conflict of interest" when a trial attorney handles the appeal.

Unless a stay is ordered by either the trial court or the appellate court, with whatever security is appropriate, the filing of an appeal does not suspend the judgment. So yes the payment will be due.

The statute does not say 7 business days but only 7 days.
Is it correct to count actual days?

answered on Apr 11, 2023
Usually, any time less than 5 days, you count calendar days. So with 7 days to take any action, it's 7 calendar days. So yes, you should count actual days.
Our landlord never fixed anything in the building we were renting for our business and we couldn't open. Back at Covid, he told us not to worry about rent "until we were up and going". The roof was leaking and ruining the carpet with mold and the AC/heat never worked. We ran a sports... View More

First, I am not a North Carolina lawyer. But if you think the civil jury was prejudiced, you possibly could appeal that ONLY IF you or your trial counsel made an objection to the makeup or composition of the jury AND the trial judge overruled that objection. The appeal process is usually focused on... View More

As far as I am aware, the stay and bond "freezes" the case. No rent is due during the stay, the bond should cover that.
I'm in Arizona, a community state.

answered on Jan 16, 2023
I am not an Arizona lawyer. However, you should respond to the appeal, a short brief on your behalf responding to original brief will do. Check the AZ appellate rules regarding format and filing of briefs.

I assume it is an exhibit / affidavit for a motion to dismiss the appeal.
I filed many times teying to get thr Judge to respond. Is this action by the Judge legal?

answered on Oct 16, 2022
I regret that your question did not contain enough information to formulate an answer. For example, what is the case about? You said you have filed your "arguments"--that still does not give me enough information. And can you appeal--still not enough information...
What are the maximum amount of losses if I lost a civil court case? What is the maximum amount of money that I need to put in, for a civil court case?

answered on Sep 22, 2022
Strange question. It depends on how much the plaintiff sues for, if s/he wins that amount it's a win for the plaintiff.

First, I am not a South Carolina lawyer. That being said, unfortunately if the appeal deadline has been missed -- for whatever reason-- I think your appeal period has closed.
