Appeals

After a trial court hears evidence and enters a judgment, it is sometimes necessary to have a higher court review the judgment of the trial court to determine whether the trial court made an error.

Whether you are the person appealing the Judge's decision (Appellant) or the person who "won" in the lower court (Appellee) there are important time constraints and deadlines that need to be met timely.  If you don't, you could forfeit your right to appeal or to submit a legal argument to the reviewing court.  Either way, knowing your options and deadlines will help you make an informed decision.
