There are two appellate courts in Alaska: the supreme court and the court of appeals. The supreme court was established by the Alaska Constitution, and the court of appeals was created by the Alaska Legislature in 1980.
The supreme court is the highest level of state court in Alaska. It hears appeals from lower state courts and also administers the state's judicial system.
The court of appeals has the authority to hear appeals in cases involving criminal prosecution, post-conviction relief, juvenile delinquency, extradition, habeas corpus, probation and parole, bail, and sentencing matters.
The Appellate Clerk's Office supports the work of the appellate courts. The clerk's responsibilities include monitoring the caseflow through the appellate courts and making recommendations for improvements in appellate procedure. The clerk is also responsible for all case filing and calendaring, publishing opinions and related tasks. The clerk's office is located in Anchorage, and deputy clerks are located in Juneau, Anchorage and Fairbanks.
Additional information about the judges and justices, jurisdiction, and composition of Alaska's courts is available on the Court Information page.
