Is the place where you go for an appeal of your court case. In my case it was non-payment of rent and a request to evict

The steps to this are:

  1. 3 day notice to tenant
  2. Appear in City Court for “Order of Eviction.”
  3. Sheriff evicts Tenants
  4. Appear in City Court for Trial.
  5. Wait for Decision.
  6. If you want to Appeal the Decision.
  7. File a “Notice of Appeal” within 30 Days.
  8. Have Trial recording transcribed.
  9. “Perfect” the appeal. This involves writing up a notice of argument.
  10. Wait for Decision.

A transcriber must be hired because they are sworn officers and what they say they heard is what becomes the record.

Perfecting the appeal includes writing a “brief.” This is a deceiving word because sometimes the brief can be quite lengthy. Included in your brief should be issues of procedure and whether or not the ones making “statements and testimony” are sworn in.

The city court sends the exhibits and what ever else is involved to the County Court. The county court sends a letter to the participants with dates on when things are due. In my case, I had to send the Notice of Argument back to the County court, copies to the other party and file such with the county clerk. Then the other party has about two weeks to answer the issue.
