Amended Appellate Procedure Rules Adopted
Article Date: 7/2/2009
Today, the North Carolina Supreme Court, pursuant to its Constitutional rule-making authority, re-adopted the Rules of Appellate Procedure with amendments.
This revision is the first comprehensive review and re-issuance since their adoption in 1975. The rules are effective for appeals filed on or after October 1, 2009.
The changes include provisions for electronic filing of transcripts, protecting the identity of certain juveniles and eliminating assignments of error. Chief Justice Parker noted, “Issuance of these revisions today is the culmination of a substantial and sustained effort by the members of the Court over the last eighteen months. Our Court takes seriously its responsibility in carefully shaping the appellate rules to assure that appeals can be presented and heard in a fair and impartial manner for all parties.”
