A Wisconsin Notice of Appeal is a legal document filed with the Wisconsin Court of Appeals to initiate an appeal of a court decision. The Wisconsin Notice of Appeal must be filed within 30 days of the court's decision, or within 30 days of the date on which the court's decision was mailed, whichever is later. There are two types of Wisconsin Notice of Appeal: a Civil Notice of Appeal and a Criminal Notice of Appeal. A Civil Notice of Appeal is used to appeal a civil court decision, such as a divorce or child custody decision. A Criminal Notice of Appeal is used to appeal a criminal court decision, such as a conviction or sentence. The Wisconsin Notice of Appeal must include the name of the court from which the appeal is being taken, the name of the case, the date of the court's decision, the name of the appellant, and the grounds for the appeal. The Notice of Appeal must also be accompanied by an appeal bond and a copy of the court's decision.
