How much time do I have to file a criminal appeal?

For Supreme Court criminal matters the notice of appeal/notice of application for permission to appeal is to be filed within 14 days of the date of conviction.

To appeal from the Parish court you may either give verbal notice of appeal at the time when the judgment is pronounced or file written notice of appeal within 14 days of the judgment. Grounds of appeal should also be filed in the Parish Court within 21 days from the date of judgment.
