Term Main definition
Indigent on Appeal

If you are declared “indigent on appeal” this means that a judge has formally ruled that you qualify for financial assistance with your appeal. You may not be required to pay for the record on appeal. You may also be assigned an attorney to assist with the appeal. The court may require you to contribute to the cost of the appeal and the services of the appointed attorney if the court determines that you can afford to pay a partial amount.
