Appellate Law

When a party receives an unfavorable ruling at the trial level, deciding whether to appeal must be done swiftly. Appeals operate differently from other court proceedings—they involve requesting a higher court to review and potentially overturn a trial court's decision. Timing is critical, as most jurisdictions impose strict deadlines for filing an appeal, often within 30 days of the court’s order or judgment. In some cases, this timeframe can be even shorter. Missing this deadline could result in losing your right to appeal, so acting promptly is essential.
