Vinson v. Hamilton, 854 P.2d 733 (Alaska 1993).

A “surety bond” is a document that guarantees payment of money if certain things occur. The
person or company that writes the bond is called the surety. The surety guarantees the payment
by becoming liable (responsible) for it. Such bonds are generally available from insurance
companies or third parties qualified to write surety bonds. There will be a fee. The court system
does not provide forms for surety bonds in civil cases.

 d. Reasons for Postponement. Describe why you need the continuance.
There are two possible reasons:
(1) You need more time to consult an attorney. If you want to talk
with or hire an attorney to represent you, and the attorney is unable
to meet with you before the eviction hearing, the judge may allow
a continuance. Describe what you have already done to try and
talk to or hire an attorney.
Example:
I need more time to talk to an attorney. I have made the
following efforts to contact an attorney: I called the
Lawyer Referral Service and got the names of three
lawyers: Scott Turow, John Grisham, and Susan Miller.
Mr. Grisham said he would be willing to help me but not
on such short notice. He needs at least a week to fit
me in.
