Right to Appeal

If you are not satisfied with the judgment (verdict) of this Court, you have the right to appeal the verdict to the Jackson County Associate Circuit Court.  If you pay fines assessed, you waive the right to appeal.

If you choose to appeal, you must pay $46.50 (cash or money order) to cover filing fees, which will be forwarded to the Circuit Court along with your case files.  In addition, you must post an appeal bond in an amount determined by the Judge.  You will be notified of a new court date and another Judge will hear your case again in its entirety.  You must file this appeal within ten (10) days of the judgment or the judgment becomes final and all fines and costs assessed must be paid to the Court.

Please contact the Court for more information about the appeal process.
