Notice Of Appeal (Criminal)

NOTICE OF APPEAL (CIRCUIT COURT CRIMINAL). This form and accompanying instructions are used by individuals seeking to file a Notice of Appeal in a criminal case from an Oregon circuit (trial) court to the Oregon Court of Appeals. The purpose of the form is to initiate the appellate process by formally notifying the appellate court and all parties involved that the appellant (usually a defendant) intends to challenge a trial court's decision. The materials provide a detailed explanation of the technical and procedural requirements for appealing a criminal judgment, including how to properly complete and submit the form, what information must be included (such as the names of the parties, the trial court's decision, and designation of the trial record), and how to ensure timely filing and service to other parties. It also explains what happens after the notice is filed, such as preparation of the trial record, the requirement to file legal briefs, and the process by which the appellate court reviews the case. The instructions emphasize that the appellate process is complex and that legal assistance is strongly recommended, though it also offers guidance for self-represented litigants. www.FormsWorkflow.com
