Appeals To the Circuit Court
If you wish to appeal your case to the Circuit Court, you must file a notice of appeal with the clerk of the General District Court within 10 days after the judgment or conviction by the General District Court.
In criminal and traffic cases, whatever the plea and sentences, you may appeal to the Circuit Court. You will get a jury trial unless affirmatively waived in the Circuit Court.
Civil cases involving amounts of more that $50 may be appealed to the Circuit Court, where you may ask for a jury trial. If you do not ask for a jury trial, the appeal will be heard by a Circuit Court judge. See the clerk of the General District Court about cost and bond requirements.
