How do I file request for continuance for Magistrate Clerk’s Hearing in Boston for speeding ticket? What are standard forms?
Magistrate Clerk’s Hearing in Boston for speeding ticket is scheduled for the day I am leaving for overseas trip. How do I ask for continuance? What forms do I need to submit? How detailed/brief my explanation needs to be? Would it suffice to just refer to overseas trip, or mention of large expenses if the trip is canceled, is required/helpful as well? Any particular verbiage to use?
Traffic Lawyer Richard Simon’s Answer
Contact the court and look for the local rules. The court website should explain all of this.
