A Michigan Notice of Appeal is a document that is filed in a Michigan Court of Appeals or the Michigan Supreme Court to challenge a decision from a lower court. It is used to initiate the appeals process and must be filed within 21 days of the lower court’s final judgment or order being entered. The notice of appeal must include the case name, the court the appeal is being taken to, the case number, the name of the party filing the appeal, the date of the lower court’s judgment, and a brief description of the issues being appealed. There are two types of Michigan Notice of Appeal: Civil Notice of Appeal and Criminal Notice of Appeal. Civil Notice of Appeal is used to appeal a decision from a lower court in a civil case, while Criminal Notice of Appeal is used to appeal a decision from a lower court in a criminal case.
