2 JURISDICTION, AVAILABILITY, AND DISMISSALS OF APPEALS Nowell D. Berreth* § 2.1 Introduction Although the 1965 enactment of the Appellate Practice Act considerably simplifi ed appellate procedure in Georgia, 1 the law relating to appellate jurisdiction, availability, and dismissal of appeals remains complex. Noncompliance can result in harsh consequences. This chapter is intended to assist the bench and bar in these matters. * Mr. Berreth is a partner at Alston & Bird LLP and focuses his practice on complex agribusiness, transportation, and estate litigation. Before joining Alston & Bird, he served two years as a law clerk to the Honorable Willis B. Hunt, Jr., United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. Mr. Berreth received a B.A. in journalism from the University of Georgia in 1991 and a J.D. from Georgia State University in 1998. 1 The Appellate Practice Act was enacted “‘to simplify the procedure for bringing a case to the appellate court[s]’ and to secure ‘speedy and uniform justice in a uniform and well-ordered manner; . . . not . . . to set traps and pitfalls . . . for unwary litigants.’” Felix v. State, 271 Ga. 534, 534-35, 523 S.E.2d 1, 3 (1999) (citation omitted). - 17 -
