Court of Appeals

The Minnesota Court of Appeals provides the citizens of Minnesota with prompt and deliberate review of all final decisions of the trial courts, state agencies, and local governments. As the error-correcting court, the Court of Appeals handles most of the appeals, which allows the Minnesota Supreme Court to spend time resolving difficult constitutional and public policy cases.

Oral Arguments via ZoomGov

Most oral arguments take place at the Minnesota Judicial Center, but some oral arguments take place remotely via ZoomGov.  As with in-person oral arguments, only the attorneys who filed briefs on the case will be allowed to address the court.  There is an instructional demonstration video available for attorneys scheduled for remote oral argument via ZoomGov.
