Circuit Court

What is the name of your state? Virginia

Is there special verbiage or a form needed to file an appeal in Richmond Circuit Court?

Almost guaranteed yes to your question.

From what court are you appealing? A little information about the case and it's outcome and why you want to appeal might help us steer you to helpful information.

That was my question. If you are appealing from a General District Court, you have ten days to file an appeal with the Circuit court (you do not need a reason or to say anything special). You will likely have to pay an appeal bond. Then you will be scheduled for a de novo (from scratch) trial in Circuit Court. Note that circuit courts aren't the informal hodge podge the GDC is. You will be well advised to have an attorney. Rules (including evidence, etcc...) will be strictly enforced.
