How Appeals Work
To appeal a decision, there must be legal errors that occurred during the trial that negatively affected the outcome of the case. You cannot appeal a decision just because you are unhappy with the court’s decision.
The general process for appeals includes the following steps:
- Notice of appeal filed within the appropriate timeframe after the decision
- The trial court’s record sent by the appellant to the appellate court
- Written briefs submitted by the attorneys to the appellate court
- Oral arguments for the attorneys to present their arguments and answer questions from the judges
- Deliberation by a panel of judges to determine whether legal errors affected the outcome of the trial
- Decision to affirm, reverse, modify or remand the case back to the lower court
- Further appeal to a higher appellate court, such as the state supreme court
There are strict deadlines to meet when pursuing an appeal. We know how to meet them and keep your appeal on track.
