Legal Question in Business Law in California

Re: What form do I use?

There are no such 'forms' in appellate law, which is what this sounds like. Everything is custom drafted by lawyers generally. Without knowing what to do, when to do it, how to write good legal briefs, how to do effective legal research, they are not going to have a good outcome. Once they decide they are willing to hire counsel, feel free to contact me. Their problem is, of course, that the fees are hourly, and appeals take a lot of time.

Re: What form do I use?

An order fixing time to file briefs is normally issued by a court of appeals. One follows the order by filing and service an appellate brief no later than the time limit, or else filing and serving a motion for an extension of time. Neither of these is a standard form.
