Question

i'm appealing a case and i'm pro se and informa papus

Answer 1

I don't know what kind of case you are appealing, but representing yourself pro-se is a bad idea.

If you represented yourself pro-se at the US District Court level, then you already have a taste for how complicated federal litigation can be. In a civil case, there are discovery requirements and in many districts, mandatory mediation. In criminal cases, obtaining the discovery can be much more challenging than it often is in state courts.

Appellate procedure is even more complicated. The rules relating to the submission of the record below, (known as the transcript) and the briefing requirements are strictly enforced. In other words, you may have perfectly valid reason to appeal, but unless its properly before the appellate court, they won't consider it, and the opposing party will successfully have it stricken. I sincerely doubt you will find anything online that will give you sufficient knowledge to write one of these projects yourself.

If you can't afford an attorney, then you need to contact your local legal aid organization and see if there are resources available for you. If it is a criminal appeal, then there may be resources for an appellate defender to assist you.

Either way, I urge you not to do this without the assistance of competent counsel. I should note: pro-se litigants are treated the same as an attorney, as far as the knowledge they are expected to have of rules and procedures. For more information, contact your local or state bar association.
