Welcome to Ave Maria Law Library!  Florida Appellate Law is a very important aspect of the litigation process. Appeals give parties an opportunity to argue a legal question that may have been wrongly decided at the trial level. This guide is intended to walk you through the appellate process in Florida while providing key resouces to appeal a decision.  

The recommended way to use this guide is:
