Lesson 27. How to get an extension of time.

Its your case; take control. If you need time then get time.

You may be surprised to discover that opposing counsel will nearly always cordially agree to an extension of time. After he agrees then you can tell the court that opposing counsel does not object.

As usual, you send this stuff by plain old first class mail.

Also, you can send an informational preview by email and/ or fax.

            I, Susan Smith, ask the court to grant me an extension of 28 days until Wednesday 20 September 2006 to file my opening brief.
