Missouri Appeals Rights and Procedures refer to the legal process by which a party may appeal a decision made by a lower court or administrative agency in the state of Missouri. The three types of Missouri Appeals Rights and Procedures are direct appeals, interlocutory appeals, and writs of certiorari. In a direct appeal, an aggrieved party can directly appeal a final judgment to the Missouri Court of Appeals. An interlocutory appeal is an appeal of a non-final judgment or order, allowed in certain circumstances, and is generally made to the trial court. Lastly, a writ of certiorari is a discretionary review of a lower court ruling by the Missouri Supreme Court. In order to file an appeal, the appellant must file a Notice of Appeal within 30 days of the judgment or order, and file the appellate brief within 45 days. Additionally, the appellant must provide a copy of the Notice of Appeal to the respondent and the appropriate appellate court.
