Preparation and Submission of the Record

In appellate procedure, the preparation and submission of the record involves gathering all relevant documents, transcripts, and evidence from the original court case. This record is crucial for the appellate court to review the lower court's decisions. The parties involved must ensure that the record is complete and accurate before filing it with the appellate court. This includes following specific rules about formatting and deadlines. Once submitted, the appellate court examines the record to determine if there were any legal errors in the original case that need to be addressed.
