Step 3 - Record on Appeal

Submitted by [user:field_first_name]

What is it?

  • The Record on Appeal contains:
    • The documents that were filed in your case,
    • Any exhibits that were submitted at the hearing, and
    • A record of what was said at the hearing in a document called a transcript.

Why is this needed?

  • An appellate court may not consider any new facts or evidence. It must rely solely on the facts that were presented to the District Court.

When will this happen?

  • The District Court clerk will send the Record on Appeal within 63 days from when the Notice of Appeal was filed.
    • The Record will not be sent if you failed to complete one of the steps in the checklist.
