A Wisconsin Notice of Appeal and Statement of Election is a document used to initiate an appeal in the state of Wisconsin. It is a legal document filed with the circuit court in the county where the appeal originated, informing the court of the appellant's intent to challenge a decision made by a lower court. This document is required by the Wisconsin Statutes whenever someone wishes to appeal a case or decision. There are two types of Wisconsin Notice of Appeal and Statement of Election: the Original Notice and the Amended Notice. The Original Notice must be filed with the circuit court within 30 days of the lower court's decision, while the Amended Notice can be filed up to 10 days after the filing of the Original Notice. The Notice must include the name, address, and telephone number of the appellant, along with the name and address of the court from which the appeal is being taken and the name of the case or decision being appealed. It must also include a brief statement of the grounds for the appeal.
