Appealing a Court Decision

Most people you know when you watch courtroom drama on TV it’s always at the trial level. The witnesses are on the witness stand, the jury’s there. It's exciting, right? Well, appeals are written and very rarely heard before a judge.

Who wants to watch a TV show about somebody making a legal argument in front of a panel of judges. That’s what an appeal is. An appeal is nothing more than, “I think this trial judge made a mistake. I want another judge to review it and here is the legal basis for my argument, based on this application of the law."

You may not enter new evidence, new witnesses. An appeal is based on the law and application of the law by a judge. an appeal is when you have a situation where you think the judge has ruled incorrectly. If you go to the law library there are literally thousands of books of cases and everyone of those is an appeal.

So there’s plenty of cases being appealed. There’s plenty of cases where someone believes fervently that the judge has made a mistake. And when he has it should be appealed.

What kinds of cases are appealed? All kinds of cases are appealed. There are different types of appeals. If you have questions about your case, call the Lanigans for an appointment 407-733-2292. (Winter Park, Florida)

Before you appeal anything, learn how the words "shall" and "may" affect statutory construction. Very helpful video. Thanks Lanigan.

One has to know what the decision is before you appeal it, meaning, if you had NO idea that a court case was transpiring, how can you appeal it ???
Apparently, this is the ongoing problem in my personal situation !
Also, how can anyone afford an attorney when they have been financially abused, and victimized across the board ? I need a pro-bono attorney to assist in this entire situation.
I am tired of this this insane situation, and I must SUE !

Good information . Question: Can you appeal a Ruling made by Court of Appeal?

[Joseph-neyl]

Pretrial hearing sits a ref/commissioner/ appeal. On my hearing date was a judge up there. ???? Appeals work the same?

[garymariestillwell]

I was in court and I have not been sentenced yet and I wanted to pull my plea back but the judge would not let me and he sentenced me anyways on false accusations against me what can I do to appeal the decision that has been made by the court how do I put it into federal court system of Appeals

Please see all posts below ! Also, omission of truth is a Tort Law Liability !
A tort is an act or omission that gives rise to injury or harm to another and amounts to a civil wrong for which courts impose liability.

Please see posts below.
On another note, isn't there some sort of financial waiver for those who have been horribly victimized, in order to file an appeal ?

I have been seeking an appeal since 1964. I was 4 years old when the judge gave me to George Elwood Joseph Watson and Ilomae Catherine Frances LaPert Watson as their adopted daughter. I was emotionally, mentally, physically and verbally abused from day one. Have been seeking to have my adoption null-and-void, revoked since 1964. Had the state of Indiana done this for me in when I was four years old, who would have paid my legal fees? Why should I at the age of 16 or 18 now be responsible to pay legal fees to have the people who abused me arrested for their crimes? The judge who gave me to these people who's zip code was 46321, forgot to tell me I needed to have a lawyer to properly represent me in 1964. To take pictures, keep copious notes. That judge was not there when Mrs. Watson warned and threatened me at the dinner table on the 1st night: Don't you ever tell anyone what goes on in this house or else! That was after an afternoon of abuse. The judge didn't say I was allowed to report a pedophile named Timothy Mark Paul Watson unless I could afford a lawyer. Where were my rights in 1964? They were intentionally taken away in 1964 and getting them back legally has been a task.

How to get a copy of the decision of appeal. where we can get a decision of appeal.

HI i have had the most disgusting divorce where the judge dismissed with prejudice and this second judge did the opposite, i thought you were not allowed to file the same complaint once its been dismissed with prejudice?

[lowrider]

I tried to get an trial continuamce because I didn’t know I needed to provide a court reporter so we went through and I think I may appeal but if the appeal doesn’t stop the collection activities I don’t know I want to play anymore

[ivory]

Yea but do you write it? I was the defendant in the last case so do I file it out as the plantiff or defendant?? Also do I write the old case number in the case number section??

[elihoneybadgerdontcare]

I love how all legal, "experts" always refer to jury trials when almost no one does that because of the threatening from the gov. to give you double the time. Most people plead, maybe give some advise to the majority not the exception.
