How often are Court of Appeals decisions appealed to the Indiana Supreme Court?
Court of Appeals rulings are frequently appealed to the state Supreme Court—in a move known in Indiana as “requesting transfer”—but the Supreme Court does not always grant transfer, or accept the appeal. Because the Indiana Supreme Court grants transfer in a smaller percentage of cases than the Court of Appeals decides, the Court of Appeals has final jurisdiction in most appellate cases in Indiana.
