In addition, permission was requested to file an oversized respondent's brief. The brief should be on file by next week. Can't wait to read it.

Kuddos to Attorney Kelly I. Kraetsch for filing the brief quicker than the Watchtower. I wonder how long it will take to read both briefs? With so much to read, how do the judges wade through so many arguments and counter arguments?
I hope that the appeal is decided before 2013 ends (in Candace Conti's favor of course) so the Watchtower can celebrate 2014 by arguing before the Supreme Court.
Peace be with you and eveyrone, who you love,
Robert

So, with these "written" briefs done, will there now be "oral" briefs? I don't expect the WTS to "waive" an oral argument if acceptable by the Court.
****************************************************
The Court’s Decision
After both sides have filed all their briefs and had oral argument (or the date for oral argument passes, if everyone waives oral argument), the case is "submitted." If there is no oral argument, the case is submitted at the same time as if it oral argument had taken place. That is why asking for oral argument does not delay the case.
After the case is submitted, the court does not accept any more information about the case. The judges have 90 days from the date the case is submitted to decide the appeal. The clerk of the court will mail you a notice of that decision.
The appellate court's decision will become final in 30 days unless any of the parties disagrees with the opinion and files a certain kind of petition. If that happens, the court's opinion is not yet final. If you disagree with the court's opinion, click to see what you can do for options after losing an appeal.
After the appellate court decision is final
The court will issue a "remittitur." A remittitur summarizes the decision and says if any party is allowed to recover some of the costs from the appeal. It also returns jurisdiction (legal power over the case) to the trial court so the lower court can follow up on what, if anything, still needs to be done to carry out the decision or decisions made by the appellate court. -
