A Civil Appeal Statement of Parties and Issues is a document that outlines the parties involved in a civil case, their respective positions, and the legal issues at hand. It is typically written by an attorney or legal representative and submitted to the court after the filing of the appeal. It is used to provide the court with a concise outline of the arguments that will be presented in the appeal. There are two main types of Civil Appeal Statements of Parties and Issues: those used in the federal court system and those used in state court systems. In the federal court system, the statement must include the appellant's name and contact information, the case name and docket number, the lower court's decision, and the parties' arguments. In state court systems, the statement must include the appellant's name and contact information, the case name and docket number, the lower court's decision, the pertinent statutes and laws that apply to the case, and the parties' arguments.
