How Does Filing An Appeal In Georgia Typically Work?
Filing an appeal in Georgia involves a structured process. It requires careful attention to detail. This is a broad overview of what to expect from the appeals process:
- Notice of Appeal: The first step is to file a notice of appeal with the trial court within 30 days of the final judgment.
- Record preparation: The trial court prepares the record. It includes all documents and transcripts from the original trial.
- Briefing: Both sides submit briefs to the appellate court. These briefs outline the legal arguments and reasons for or against the appeal.
- Oral argument: In some cases, the appellate court may schedule an oral argument. Lawyers present their arguments in person.
- Decision: The appellate court reviews the case and issues a written decision affirming, reversing, or modifying the trial court’s judgment.
The appellate process is intricate and time-consuming. At our Macon appeal law firm, we possess the skills necessary to manage it effectively.
When Can You Appeal A Case?
Appealing a case is not an automatic right and is subject to specific criteria. To file an appeal, you must demonstrate that a legal error impacted the trial’s outcome. Your case has to meet specific criteria. Common grounds for appeal include:
- Improper admission of evidence
- Incorrect jury instructions
- Judicial bias
- Errors in legal interpretation
An appeal is not an opportunity to retry the facts of the case. Instead, the appellate court reviews the trial court’s decisions. It determines if any legal errors occurred. Our attorneys can carefully evaluate your case to determine its eligibility for an appeal, ensuring that you invest your time and resources wisely.
