Filing an appeal of an unwanted trial court civil judgment can be a daunting task. What exactly do you have to do to appeal a case in New Jersey courts?
Generally, the first thing that will need to be done is to serve a copy of notice of appeal and the request for transcript upon all parties who have appeared in the action. A notice of appeal should be annexed to a Case Information Statement in the form described in New Jersey Court Rule 2:5. Other different types of proceedings have differing rules.
In all civil appeals, the appellant shall deposit $300 with the clerk of the appellate court to answer the costs of appeal. However, if the appellant has filed a supersedeas bond, no deposit for costs shall be required.
