Any info on appeals please? Thank you.


The procedure for filing an appeal in the federal courts requires the following:

The filing of a notice of appeal by the appellant with the district court that rendered the judgment.
On receipt of the notice of appeal by the clerk of the district court, the trial transcript, pleadings, and exhibits (called the record on appeal) are forwarded to the court of appeals.
The attorneys for both parties submit written appellate briefs.
The attorneys for both sides appear before the court of appeals to make an oral argument before the judges.
The judges issue a formal written opinion that will be published in a court reporter.
