Civil Appeal Case Details
Civil Appeal matters have a distinct process compared to regular civil litigation, and tracking key dates is essential. In LiraDocs, there is a specialized Appeals Details section within Case Details for civil appeal cases. This section helps manage the various stages of an appeal, including when representing the Appellant, Appellee, or Amicus Curiae. The exact Case Details may vary based on your state, but typically include the following key components:
- Appeals Dates (e.g., filing and due dates for briefs, notices, and records)
- Appellant, Appellee, and Amicus Curiae Information
Civil Appeal Workflow
Workflow processes for civil appeal cases will differ depending on jurisdiction and practice, but here’s a sample workflow for managing civil appeals:

| File Notice of Appeal | On Notice of Appeal Due Date |
| Serve Notice of Appeal | 7 Days after Notice of Appeal Filed Date |
| File Docketing Statement | On Docketing Statement Due Date |
| Prepare Record on Appeal | On Matter Opening |

| First Brief Filed | On Appellant’s Brief Due Date |

These steps help ensure that all the critical dates and documents are tracked effectively for a smooth appeal process.
