Civil Appeal: Superior Court to Supreme Court

This website discusses how to represent yourself in a case involving an appeal of a civil final judgment or order from the Superior Court to the Supreme Court. It does NOT discuss how to file an appeal in a criminal case to the Court of Appeals or other lower court appeals.

The civil appeals process is complicated, long and expensive. The process can take over two years. You should consult with an attorney if possible to discuss your case. It is important to read ALL of the information provided on this website before filing your appeal.
