HOW DO YOU ARGUE FOR A CONTINUENCE

In wiring, explain the reason and give proof of the need. Cite to case law that indicates what the court should do. Good luck

File the motion, stating the reason the continuance is needed, and how long a continuance you want. The motion must be verified, and should state that the continuance is not requested solely for delay, but so that justice can be done. Submit an order granting the motion along with the motion. Set the motion for hearing, notify the other side, and then show up to tell the court why it should grant your continuance. It helps if this is your first request for continuance. Some courts won't grant a continuance, even with good reason, if several have already been granted in the case.
