How long does it usually take for an appeal to end?

The trial period of second instance is generally 30 days or 3 months. When the people's court hears an appeal case against the ruling, it shall make a final ruling within 30 days from the date of filing the case of second instance. The trial period starts from the date of filing the case, and generally includes about one month's file transfer time. In some areas, people's courts may appeal against the unjust, false and misjudged cases that may exist in the judgment process.

First, what are the characteristics of the criminal second instance procedure?

1, which is the appeal procedure. In other words, it is a trial procedure conducted by the people's court of second instance according to the appeal of the parties or the protest of the people's procuratorate; If the parties concerned have not appealed and the people's procuratorate has not protested, the procedure of second instance will not be initiated. Both the appeal of the parties and the protest of the people's procuratorate must be filed within the time limit prescribed by law. If the time limit prescribed by law is exceeded, even if an appeal or protest is filed, the second instance procedure cannot be started.

2. It is the retrial procedure. The people's court of second instance conducts a comprehensive review of whether the facts ascertained in the judgment of first instance are clear, whether the evidence is true and sufficient, whether the nature is accurate, whether the sentencing is appropriate, and whether the proceedings are legal. Through the retrial procedure, it is not limited by the scope of appeal or protest, so as to safeguard the correct judgment, correct or revoke the wrong judgment, accurately crack down on crimes, protect the legitimate rights and interests of the parties, and give full play to the trial supervision role of the people's court of second instance.

This is the last procedure. The appeal system is closely related to the trial level system. Because our country adopts the system of two-instance final appeal, the second instance procedure is also the final appeal procedure. The judgments and orders of the people's court of second instance will take legal effect as long as they are published (except death penalty and analogical judgment); Even if the party refuses to accept it, there is no appeal.
