No thank you ? But if you are pro se do you still have to do a oral arguments

Would you like more information on how to request oral arguments?
No thanks,? But i was going to get back with you guys later because i have to take care of my legal papers concerning this case but i had * more questions before i end this session? When the case goes to courts of appeals do the same judge reside on the case that was on the first case and how many judges are on the appeal case and who makes the decision
In appellate courts:
- The same judge from the original case does not preside over the appeal.
- Typically, a panel of three judges reviews the case.
- These judges collectively make the decision after reviewing the briefs and possibly hearing oral arguments.
Do you have any other questions?
You know i,m pro se and thus is new for me but guven that i am confidence i can do it and one more thing they told me to be checking my email for uodates so i gather i will recive a answer do that mean i woll have to appear in person in front of thses judges as well
You will receive updates via email about your case. Whether you need to appear in person depends on the court's decision. If oral arguments are scheduled, you may need to appear. Otherwise, the judges may decide based on the briefs alone.
Would you like more details on the oral argument process?
So on a oral argument is it something that i gave to write and if so do they give you some time to prepare the oral arguments as well
Oral arguments involve presenting your case verbally to the judges. You do not need to write out the argument word-for-word, but preparing an outline or key points can be very helpful. Typically, you will have time to prepare, and the court will notify you of the schedule for the oral arguments.
Would you like more tips on how to prepare for oral arguments?
