Civil Appellate Practice in the Minnesota Court of Appeals is a comprehensive practitioner's guide to civil appellate practice and procedure in the Minnesota Court of Appeals. Rules, case law, and practical considerations that bear on practice in the Minnesota Court of Appeals are the book's primary concern. Decisions by the Minnesota Supreme Court that bear on practice in the intermediate court, or that are of general applicability, are included as well. The book begins with a brief description of the history and organization of the court of appeals. It then proceeds to take the reader through the various steps encountered in the prosecution of a case through the intermediate appellate court. Areas covered include jurisdiction; the initiation of appellate proceedings, including appealable judgments and orders, the effect of an appeal on remaining trial court proceedings, the procedure for appeal by multiple parties, the scope of review on appeal from a judgment or order, the time within which an appeal must be taken, and the manner in which an appeal must be perfected; the procedure involved in obtaining a writ of mandamus or prohibition; preargument motion practice; the record on appeal; the preparation of briefs and appendixes; oral argument; and postdecision procedures.
