Appeal Process Extension Guidance

Summary

In Missouri, you have 30 days from the judgment to file a notice of appeal in civil cases like medical malpractice and personal injury. Appeals focus on legal errors from the trial, not new evidence. The appellate court reviews the trial record. If an extension is granted to the opposing party for filing briefs, it is important to understand the implications and adjust your strategy accordingly. For specific guidance on extensions or other appeal aspects, consulting with a legal professional is advisable.
