About the Court
The Michigan Court of Appeals is one of the highest volume intermediate appellate courts in the country. It was created by the 1963 Michigan Constitution and heard its first cases in January 1965. Generally, decisions from final orders of a circuit court or probate court, as well as some agency orders, may be appealed to the court as a matter of right. Other lower court or tribunal decisions may be appealed only by application for leave to appeal, i.e., with permission of the court. Read More...

E-Filing SYSTEM TRANSITION TO MIFILE
On September 6, 2019, the Michigan
Supreme Court and Court of Appeals transitioned from TrueFiling to MiFILE, the
statewide e-filing system that is used by several state trial courts. You need
to be aware of the following information and take the necessary steps so that
you can use the MiFILE system for appellate court filings::
- If you have not already done so, you will need to
register at https://mifile.courts.michigan.gov.
As of 9:00 a.m. on September 7, 2019, all e-filings must now be submitted
through MiFILE.
- The TrueFiling site (https://www.truefiling.com) is no longer
available for e-filing in the Supreme Court or Court of Appeals. However, you
will still be able to access your filing history in TrueFiling for the next six
months..
- Because e-filing was not possible after 11:30 a.m. on September 6, 2019, during the upgrade procedure, pleadings that were due on
September 6 will be docketed as timely filed if they are submitted before 11:59 p.m. on September 7.
- Additional information and user resources are available on the Court's MiFILE webpage.
