How do I get an appeal record certified by the Clerk?
The attorney who files the Notice of Appeal should file the Index, utilizing the "Designation to Record on Appeal" event, which is located within the Appeals category for both Civil and Criminal actions. The Court of Appeals will receive electronic notification of this filing, which will satisfy the requirement to file the record. The filing of the index will also prompt the Clerk to certify the index, which will be done in a subsequent entry, usually the next business day.
The content of the index is at the discretion of the attorney. It may contain a listing/description of all of the documents filed on the case (such as an entire docket sheet) or it may contain a listing/description of only certain documents (such as a modified docket sheet).
