A Civil Appeal Statement is a document filed with a court of appeals to challenge the outcome of a civil case. The statement is typically written by the appellant (the party filing the appeal) and outlines the legal grounds on which the appellate court should review the lower court's decision. It may also include a request for relief or a request for a new trial. There are two types of Civil Appeal Statements: an Appeal from a Judgment or Order and an Appeal from a Final Judgment or Decree. An Appeal from a Judgment or Order is filed when the appellant believes that the lower court's decision was based on an incorrect interpretation of the law or an incorrect application of the law. An Appeal from a Final Judgment or Decree is filed when the appellant believes that the lower court's decision was based on an error of fact or law. In either case, the appellant must provide evidence and legal argument in support of their position.
