- Q. In an appeal whàt does set for submission on briefs mean?
- A: Intermediate courts of appeals do not grant oral argument often, and if the briefing provides the facts and law needed to resolve the issues raised on appeal, they will set the case for submission on the briefs. Not setting for oral argument does not indicate which way they are leaning or whether you have meritorious claims on appeal, only that the court does not believe oral argument will aid in their resolution of the case.
- Q. I turned in my appellate brief to First Court Of Appeals Harris county, Tx. Will court accept anymore documents.
- A: You could file a letter of supplemental authority, especially if new case law has been decided since your briefing that might be relevant to the outcome.
