How do I file a motion for reconsideration with an appellate court?

Filing a motion for reconsideration with an appellate court in Alaska is relatively straightforward. This can be done by submitting a written motion to the court containing certain information. First, your motion must include your name, or that of your legal representative, as well as the case number for the appeal. After that, you should include a brief statement of the reasons why the court should reconsider its decision. For instance, you might argue that the court made an error in its interpretation of law, or that there was missing or incorrect information used in the decision. Be sure to include a copy of the original appeal decision with your motion, as well as the page number in the decision where you argue the error was made. If you are bringing in new information, you must attach that to your motion as well. Then you need to submit your motion. You can do this either in person or by mail to the appellate court. Be sure to make a copy for your own records. Finally, once you have filed your motion, the court will review it and decide whether to grant or deny it. If they grant your motion, the court will consider your argument and issue a new ruling, if applicable.
