Court of Appeal staff have developed a series of guidebooks for civil appeals to expand access to justice and assist parties with matters before the Court.
The three guidebooks are the Civil Appeal Guide for Appellants, the Civil Appeal Guide for Respondents, and the Civil Applications Guide. They include information such as the relevant rules from the Alberta Rules of Court; guidance on procedure, deadlines, and document formatting; instructions for using CAMS; legal research tips; an explanation of standard of review; and contact information.
Available on the Court’s website here, the guidebooks are designed to assist self-represented litigants and legal professionals.
