to set up, or to draft

Explanation:
utsette = to defer
å sette opp = to set up, or to draft (a document)
So the sentence is giving the defendent the option of sending the court a written defence or visiting the office of the court to get help to draft one.

to schedule a hearing

Explanation:
perhaps I don't understand the entire context, but I don't understand this to mean that if you show up at the office, they will help you write a defense. The way I interpret this is that one has the option of either sending in a written defense or scheduling a hearing to give a defense in person.
