ARAP Rule 22: Appeals in habeas corpus

Alabama Rules of Appellate Procedure

Rule 22. Appeals in habeas corpus

Appeals in habeas corpus proceedings shall be governed by Code of Alabama, section 12-22-90; except, that habeas corpus appeals in child custody cases shall be governed by provisions of these rules which govern appeals in civil cases.

Committee Comments

This rule basically continues Alabama practice under Code of Ala., § 12-22-90. It does resolve a question as to where habeas corpus appeals in child custody go by providing that such appeals are governed by the various provisions of these rules governing appeals in civil cases. As such, appeal would lie to the court of civil appeals.
