An Illinois Notice of Appeal is a legal document filed with the court to notify the court of a party's intention to appeal a lower court's ruling. It is typically filed by an appellate attorney on behalf of an appellant, and it must meet certain requirements in order to be accepted by the court. There are two types of Illinois Notice of Appeal: civil and criminal. The civil Notice of Appeal must be filed within 30 days of the lower court decision and must include the names of all parties involved, the court from which the appeal is taken, the date of the lower court decision, the order number of the lower court decision, and the name of the appellant's attorney. The criminal Notice of Appeal must be filed within 30 days of the lower court decision and must include the names of all parties involved, the court from which the appeal is taken, the date of the lower court decision, the order number of the lower court decision, a list of any objections made to the lower court ruling, and the name of the appellant's attorney.
