As amended through September 19, 2024
Rule 219 - Juvenile Appeals(a) Scope. This rule applies to the following classes of appeals, and in such appeals supersedes the other appellate rules to the extent that they may be inconsistent with this rule. (1) appeals from final judgments in juvenile delinquency proceedings under AS 47.12.120(b); and(2) appeals from orders under AS 47.12.100(a) finding that a minor is not amenable to treatment under AS 47.12.(b) Jurisdictional Limitation. This rule does not permit an appeal to be taken in any circumstances in which an appeal would not be permitted by Rule 202.(c) Notice of Appeal. The notice of appeal under this rule shall be filed with the clerk of the appellate courts within 15 days after the date shown in the clerk's certificate of distribution on the order or judgment. The notice shall identify the appeal as an appeal under this rule, but the court of appeals will apply this rule to cases within its scope whether they are so identified or not. The notice of appeal shall be accompanied by the items specified in Appellate Rule 204(b) [1]-[4], [6], and [7].(d) Time for Completion of Record. Rule 210 shall apply except that the time for completion of the transcript, if ordered, and page numbering shall be within 30 days after filing the notice of appeal. The clerk of the trial courts shall take such steps as may be necessary to insure timely completion of records in cases under this rule, including but not limited to giving the preparation of transcripts in cases under this rule priority over the preparation of transcripts in criminal cases. However, unless otherwise ordered by the Court of Appeals, the record of the trial court proceeding will consist of electronic recordings rather than transcripts. Written transcripts may not be prepared except by order of the Court of Appeals.(e) Briefs. Briefs shall be prepared, served, and filed in the manner prescribed in Rule 212.(f) Oral Argument. If oral argument is requested, it may be held on an expedited basis or telephonically under Rule 505(g) as necessary to ensure an expeditious resolution. The parties' right to oral argument and the procedures governing oral argument are set out in Rule 505.(g) Disposition of Appeals. Appeals under this rule will be decided expeditiously by the court.(h) Extensions of Time. A motion to extend a time period referred to in this rule is not a "routine" motion within the meaning of Rules 503(e) and 503.5.Added by SCO 926 effective 1/15/1989; amended by SCO 1155 effective 7/15/1994; by SCO 1433 effective 10/15/2001; by SCO 1482 effective 10/15/2002; by SCO 1555 effective 10/15/2004; and by SCO 1598 effective 10/15/2006
