The Civil Appeals Jurisdiction Checklist is a form used by attorneys to determine whether a case is appropriate for appeal in a civil court. This checklist outlines the criteria that must be met in order for the case to be considered for appeal. Depending on the jurisdiction, the checklist may include questions such as whether the case involves a significant legal issue, whether the outcome of the case is likely to be overturned on appeal, and whether the case is in the appellate court's jurisdiction. There are three main types of Civil Appeals Jurisdiction Checklists: Federal, State, and Local. Each jurisdiction has different criteria that must be met for a case to be appropriate for appeal. The Federal Checklist requires that the case involve a substantial federal question, that the appellate court has jurisdiction over the case, and that the decision to be appealed is a final order of the lower court. The State Checklist requires that the case involve a substantial state law question and that the decision to be appealed is a final order of the lower court. The Local Checklist requires that the case involve a substantial local law question, that the appellate court has jurisdiction over the case, and that the decision to be appealed is a final order of the lower court.
