Filing a Notice of Appeals is done for 1 of 3 reasons, you wish to appeal a motion granted during a case, you wish to appeal a verdict based on arguments that there were errors in the trials procedure or errors in the judge's interpretation of the law, or new evidence has come to light proving the appellants innocence. Please note, the only persons able to file an appeal after an issuance of verdict is the defendant or their attorney(s) due to the Double Jeopardy rule.

When a Notice of Appeal is filed in all cases, it will be reviewed by a Superior Court Justice that had or has no part in the original case. If it found to be unjust, it will be denied. If it is found to just, there are different outcomes outlined in the appropriate sections below.

Filing a Notice of Appeal is done during a case only when you wish to appeal a motion granted by the judge. The Notice of Appeal must be filed before an issuance of verdict. When a Notice of Appeal is filed you must submit a Motion to Stay Pending Appeal on the docket so the judge is aware to not proceed until directed from the Court of Appeals.

The appeal is instituted with the filing of a Notice of Appeal. This filing marks the beginning of the time period within which the appellant must file a brief, a written argument containing that side's view of the facts and the legal arguments upon which they rely in seeking a reversal of a motion. The respondent then has a specified time to file an answering brief. The appellant may then file a second brief answering the respondents brief. If a Notice of Appeal is denied, the case will continue and you can only then appeal that same appeal to the Supreme Court of San Andreas. If the Notice of Appeal is upheld, the Superior Court Justice will inform the judge of the findings and reverse the decision, the case will then continue.

This Notice of Appeal must be filed within 72 hours of the Issuance of Verdict.

Like before, the appeal is instituted with the filing of a Notice of Appeal. This filing marks the beginning of the time period within which the appellant must file a brief, a written argument containing that side's view of the facts and the legal arguments upon which they rely in seeking a reversal of the verdict. The respondent then has a specified time to file an answering brief. The appellant may then file a second brief answering the respondent brief.

If the Notice of Appeal is denied, the verdict will be upheld and you can only then appeal to the Supreme Court of San Andreas. If the Notice of Appeal is upheld, the Superior Court Justice will do one of two things, in both cases the case will be deemed a mistrial, if this is due to errors in the trials procedure or errors in the judge's interpretation of the law, a new judge will be assigned, and a new trial will be held without allowing any further motions or evidence to be submitted. If it is due to new evidence coming to light proving the appellants innocence, that evidence will be admissible in court and the same judge will hold a new trial for the case.
