Appellate Rules Committee Description

The Appellate Rules Committee is concerned with improving the quality of appellate practice in North Carolina. Its members - lawyers and judges from across the State - meet regularly to discuss appellate problems and possible solutions. Among other work, the Committee has drafted proposed amendments to the N.C. Rules of Appellate Procedure for consideration by the Supreme Court. Past proposals have included measures to clarify ambiguities in the rules and to simplify procedures.

The Appellate Rules Committee welcomes proposals relating to the appellate rules and appellate practice. To send such proposals, click here.
