A Rhode Island Notice of Appeal is a document that is filed with the Superior Court by the appellant (the person appealing a decision) or by their attorney. The Notice of Appeal outlines the facts of the case and the legal reasons for challenging the decision. It also serves as the official record of the appeal and serves to notify the court that an appeal is being made. There are three types of Rhode Island Notice of Appeal: a Notice of Appeal from a judgment, a Notice of Appeal from a post-judgment order, and a Notice of Appeal from a post-trial order. All three Notice of Appeals must be filed within 30 days of the date of the decision being appealed. The Notice of Appeal must be signed by the appellant and their attorney before it can be filed with the court.
