A Notice of Appeal in Iowa is a document that is filed in the Iowa Court of Appeals to begin the process of appealing a decision from a trial court. In order to appeal, the individual must file the Notice of Appeal within 30 days of the lower court's decision. The Notice of Appeal must include the name of the court where the appeal is being filed, the case number, the name of the appellant, the name of the respondent, and a brief statement of the grounds for the appeal. There are two types of Iowa Notice of Appeal: a direct appeal and an interlocutory appeal. A direct appeal is an appeal that is filed after a judgment or order has been entered. An interlocutory appeal is an appeal that is filed before a final ruling has been made in the case.
