6 Ways To Appeal A Final Judgment

While an appeal is a crucial part of any criminal case, it is not a new trial before a higher court, contrary to the popular belief here in California. You have a right to appeal a final judgment not only in the case of a conviction or sentence. You can appeal a final judgment in the form of:

1. A sentence
2. A final conviction
3. An order of probation
4. An insanity commitment
5. An addiction commitment
6. A mental disorder commitment.
