California Notice Of Appeal is a legal document that is used to formally initiate an appeal from a lower court decision in California. The Notice of Appeal serves as a formal notification to the court and other parties that an appeal is being filed. It must be filed within 30 days of the lower court’s decision in order to be valid. There are two main types of California Notice Of Appeal: a Civil Notice of Appeal and a Criminal Notice of Appeal. A Civil Notice of Appeal is filed when appealing a civil suit such as a contract dispute, while a Criminal Notice of Appeal is used to appeal a criminal conviction. The Notice of Appeal must include the names of the parties involved, the name of the court of appeals, a legal description of the lower court’s decision, the date the decision was issued, and the name and address of all parties involved. It must be served on all parties in the case, as well as the lower court, within 10 days of filing.
