Have you recently had a determination in your case in the San Diego Superior Court and feel like the court made an error? You may be able to appeal the decision to a higher court! An appeal can be made if the trial court made an error about either the laws or procedures governing your case or if there was not substantial evidence to support the court’s decision. An appeal is not a new trial, rather it is a review of your previous trial by a higher court. If you would like to ...file an appeal and need to file it in the Fourth District Court of Appeals, there is a clinic that can help you! Attendees MUST register in advance..
