A Rhode Island Motion To Be Excused From Court is a legal filing that a party to a case can use to request that they be excused from attending a court hearing or trial. This type of motion is usually filed by individuals who are unable to attend court due to extenuating circumstances such as illness, work commitments, or distance. The motion must provide evidence of the reason for the request and must be signed by the party or their attorney. There are two types of Rhode Island Motion To Be Excused From Court that can be filed: a Motion to Be Excused Due to Illness, which can be used to request a continuance or other relief due to the inability of a party or witness to attend court due to an illness; and, a Motion to Be Excused Due to Distance, which is used to request a continuance or other relief due to the inability of a party or witness to attend court due to distance.
