Learn the standards of an appeal and how to file one effectively.
This topic will explore the requirements for perfecting an appeal in a civil lawsuit. The material will address the standards applied when an appeal challenges the factual findings of the lower court and when the appeal challenges legal rulings of the lower court. This information will assist lawyers in civil litigation to better understand how appeals are filed and how to frame the issues to be considered by an appellate court.
