Are you a party to a civil case on appeal? The appellate court is very different from the superior court -- including its processes and procedures. We encourage you to attend a FREE workshop to learn important information about what is required at the Court of Appeal, especially if you are not represented by an attorney.

 A Civil Appellate Self-Help Workshop will be held at the San Diego Law Library on the third Tuesday of each month. 

Due to changes in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, all workshops will now be held virtually. Please visit the San Diego Law Library's website to register for upcoming events. 

Join us at one of our workshops this year:
