What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? MA
We are representing ourselves Pro Se. We just received notice that our appeal is finally being heard but we're out of the country and do not have the funds to travel. We are scheduled to present oral arguments in a month but we will be unable to attend.
One of the points in the Notice of Argument stated, “The case cannot be submitted on brief without notice to the court.” We took this to mean that, if we give proper notice to the Court, we can submit our oral argument in written (brief) form if we are unable to physically appear. Is this correct?
Thank you for any help and feedback.
