Madonna's appeal in her attempt to adopt a 3-year-old girl from Malawi will begin May 4.
The case will be heard by three Supreme Court of Appeal judges, Court official Joseph Chigona, tells Usmagazine.com.
"It may take up to two weeks," Chigona tells Us. "Madonna is not required to be present [during the appeal]."
"As with all court cases involving infants, this one will be in
chambers, not in an open court," he says.
Alan Chinula, Madonna's Malawian lawyer, tells Us they are "confident" things will work in their favor with the appeal. (A judge rejected the singer's application to adopt Chifundo "Mercy" James earlier this month because she did not meet residency requirements.)
Says Chinula, "We believe the lower court judge errored by basing her judgment on an archaic law of over 50 years ago."
