Rule 701 Interlocutory Orders

When a court makes a ruling in the middle of a case (before the case is fully over), you sometimes have the right to appeal that ruling right away. This type of mid-case ruling is called an interlocutory order.

If you want to appeal one of these rulings, you must go to the same appeals court that would handle an appeal after the case is completely finished. In other words, you file your appeal with the court that would normally be in charge of reviewing that type of case.
