Illinois Appeal-Criminal Notice of Appeal is a legal document submitted by an appellant to the court to challenge the outcome of a criminal case. It is typically filed after a criminal conviction has been handed down. The Notice of Appeal must include information such as the appellant’s name, the judgment that is being appealed, and the reasons why the appellant believes the lower court’s decision should be overturned. The Notice of Appeal is then served to the lower court’s clerk, the prosecutor, and the defense attorney. There are two main types of Illinois Appeal-Criminal Notice of Appeals: direct and interlocutory. Direct appeals are requests to review a criminal conviction or sentence. An interlocutory appeal is a request to review a pretrial ruling, such as a motion to suppress evidence. In both cases, the Notice of Appeal must include a written statement outlining the issue at hand, and any arguments in favor of overturning the lower court’s decision.
