Rule of Appellate Procedure

The Rule of Appellate Procedure is a set of guidelines that govern how appeals are handled in a court system. When a person or entity disagrees with a decision made by a lower court, they can appeal to a higher court. These rules outline the steps they must follow, such as filing a notice of appeal, submitting briefs, and presenting oral arguments. The goal is to ensure that the appeal process is fair, orderly, and efficient, allowing for a thorough review of the lower court's decision without duplicating the original trial.
