POST CONVICTION RELIEF : INTRODUCTION
THE DEFINITION OF APPEAL
THE APPELLATE COURT OF NEVADA
- Incorrect rulings on admissibility of evidence
- Incorrect application of a law
- Incorrect application of a regulation
- Improper jury instructions
- Insufficient evidence to support the verdict
THE APPEALS
THE WRIT
WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
WRIT VERSUS APPEAL

- The defense mistakenly wasn’t able to file a formal charge at the time of the alleged injustice.
- A final judgment has not been registered formally in the trial court but the party seeking the writ needs reprieve at once to prevent forms of injustice or deviation from rights.
- Writs are given more urgency than appeals, so defendants who feel aggrieved by actions of the trial judge may opt for writ to attain immediate assistance.
- The defendant has already filed an unsuccessful appeal (defendants may file multiple writs but may only file a single appeal). It must be remembered that one should not file a writ greatly resembling the unsuccessful appeal because the writ will be dismissed right away.
