A Missouri Notice of Appeal is a document filed with the Missouri Court of Appeals to initiate the appeals process. It is the first step in appealing the decision of a lower court. The Notice of Appeal is used to alert the opposing party of the appellant’s intent to challenge the lower court’s decision. There are two types of Missouri Notice of Appeal: a Notice of Appeal from a Circuit Court and a Notice of Appeal from an Administrative Agency. The Notice of Appeal from a Circuit Court is used to appeal a decision from a Missouri Circuit Court, while the Notice of Appeal from an Administrative Agency is used to appeal a decision from a Missouri Administrative Agency. The Notice of Appeal must include the appellant’s name, the lower court’s decision, the court where the appeal is being filed, and the appellant’s signature.
