## Title 12. Appeals, Certiorari, and Certification of Questions

### Subtitle 3. Review of Decisions of Trial Courts of General Jurisdiction

#### Section 12-301

Except as provided in Sec. 12-302 of this subtitle, a party may appeal from a final judgment entered in a civil or criminal case by a circuit court. The right of appeal exists from a final judgment entered by a court in the exercise of original, special, limited, statutory jurisdiction, unless in a particular case the right of appeal is expressly denied by law. In a criminal case, the defendant may appeal even though imposition or execution of sentence has been suspended. In a civil case, a plaintiff who has accepted a remittitur may cross-appeal from the final judgment.
