About the Workshop
Are you a party to an unlimited civil case on appeal from the superior court to the Court of Appeal? The appellate court is different — including its processes and procedures. You are welcome to attend a FREE workshop to learn important information about what is required at the Court of Appeal, especially if you do not have by an attorney.
The workshop does not cover appeals in limited civil actions, which are taken to the appellate division of the superior court, or appeals in the federal courts.
A Civil Appellate Self-Help Workshop will be held virtually via Zoom, a web-based video conferencing tool. For the best workshop experience, you will need Internet access either via a computer or a smart phone. However, you may participate via telephone even without Internet access.
