What is an appeal against conviction?

Whether you have pleaded guilty or were convicted after trial, you may be able to appeal against your conviction.

The purpose of this type of appeal is to quash the conviction. If the appeal is allowed, the conviction will either be set aside or, in some cases, it can be substituted for another less serious offence (e.g. murder to manslaughter).

How do I appeal against my conviction?

The appeal process differs depending on whether you were convicted in the magistrates’ court or the Crown Court.
