Is there a certain appeal form or filing fee?
No. The appeal notice may be in pleading or letter form and should contain at a minimum the Respondent’s bar card number, address, and fax number, the State Bar file number(s) from the evidentiary hearing, the date of the judgment being appealed, and the date that the respondent received the judgment. Appeals must be postmarked within 30 days of the date that the respondent receives the judgment of the committee. Faxed appeals are considered filed the same business day received if received before 5:00 p.m.
