Chief Justice Of Main State Appellate Courts

People need to understand how the appellate courts should work. Those courts are not the place for trial court cases should be retried. Instead, a simple format must be followed by both the appellant and respondent.

The appellant must outline the specific reasons why the trial court's decision/opinion/verdict should be overturned. He/she should cite specific errors or other inappropriate acts by the trial court (judge and/or jury) as a basis for the appellate court to overturn and set aside the findings of guilt or liability.

He/she should also do the same if he/she requests that the appellate court change the sentencing in criminal cases or awards/relief in civil liability cases. In other words, the appellant does not have to differ with the trial court's finding of guilt and/or liability. He/she just can just differ with the amount of criminal case punishment or civil case damages if needed.

The appellant must send a certified copy to the opposing litigant, the respondent. The respondent must reply to the specific outlined statements by the appellant. He/she sends that formatted response to the appellate court and also to the appellant. 

Cliff Notes Version: The appellant should cite specific errors or other inappropriate acts by the trial court (judge and/or jury) as a basis for the appellate court to either overturn findings of guilt or liability or reduce punishment or damages
