- Drafts a Notice of Appeal to initiate appellate review of a trial court judgment or order in US federal and state courts. Use when filing a notice of appeal, commencing appellate review, or preserving appellate jurisdiction after an adverse ruling.
Notice of Appeal
Drafts a jurisdictional Notice of Appeal that invokes appellate review and preserves the appellant's right to challenge a trial court ruling. The notice contains no substantive arguments — it invokes jurisdiction only.
Quick Start
Gather before drafting:
- Appealable judgment/order — final judgment, FRCP 54(b) partial judgment, 28 U.S.C. § 1292(b) interlocutory order, or collateral order
- Exact docket entry date — date entered on docket (not signed or received)
- Party names — full legal names with trial designations and appellate designations (appellant/appellee)
- Case numbers — trial court number; appellate number if assigned
- Court names — trial court and appellate court
- Filing deadline — confirmed per deadline table below
- Attorney info — name, bar number, firm, address, phone, email
Filing Deadlines
| Context | Deadline | Authority | |---|---|---| | Federal civil | 30 days from entry | FRAP 4(a)(1)(A) | | Federal civil (US party) | 60 days from entry | FRAP 4(a)(1)(B) | | Federal criminal | 14 days from entry | FRAP 4(b)(1)(A) | | Post-judgment motion pending | 30 or 60 days from disposition, matching party-status deadline | FRAP 4(a)(4)(A), 4(a)(1)(A)-(B) | | State courts | Varies — confirm rule | [VERIFY] jurisdiction-specific |
Warning: Deadlines are jurisdictional and non-waivable. Confirm before drafting.

Completion Checklist
- [ ] Dual caption (trial court + appellate court)
- [ ] All party names with trial and appellate designations
- [ ] Trial court case number (and appellate number if assigned)
- [ ] Specific identification of judgment/order appealed
- [ ] Exact docket entry date for each order appealed
- [ ] Signature block with bar number and full contact info
- [ ] Certificate of service with date, method, and recipients
- [ ] Jurisdiction-required attachments (cover sheet, docketing statement)
Common Pitfalls
- Wrong date — use docket entry date, never the signing or receipt date
- Substantive arguments — never include reasons for appeal or assignments of error
- Interlocutory appeals — describe the order specifically enough to distinguish from other rulings
- Service gaps — serve all parties and trial court clerk per local rule
- Format noncompliance — check local rules for margins, font, spacing, e-filing requirements, and cover sheets
- Pro se appellants — include appellant's own address and contact info in signature block
- Multiple appellants — name each; a single notice may cover all if local rule permits
