NC Office of the Appellate Defender

We represent indigent adult and juvenile clients on appeal after a criminal conviction, juvenile delinquency disposition, and mental health commitment, and when the State appeals a trial court ruling.

These sample motions are provided as a convenience only. Attorneys are solely responsible for ensuring that the case law cited in the motions is complete and current, and that the motion, if appropriate for use in their client’s case, is tailored to the facts specific to that case.
