Common questions
What starts an appeal timeline?
Start with the judgment or order being appealed, followed by the notice of appeal and the relevant record deadline.
Which briefs should be shown?
Show the appellant's opening brief, the appellee's response and any permitted reply brief, plus their due dates.
Does every appeal have oral argument?
No. Whether oral argument occurs depends on the court and the case, so include it only when it has been scheduled or requested.
