We hardly ever address appellate practice on these pages or the Neil Garfield Show. Tonight Charles Marshall, California Attorney, discusses basic factors on appeal. What is an appeal?When should notice of appeal be filed?What does an appellate panel or judge consider on appeal?What are the issues on appeal?Can new facts be introduced on appeal?Can jurisdictional issues be brought up for the first time on appeal?When does oral argument occur?What kinds of decisions are made by appellate court?Is there always a written decision issued by the judge or panel?What happens after the appellate judge or panel renders a decision or opinion?
