Step 2: Fill out the Petition for Writ of Certiorari,
Statement of the Case, and Writ of Certiorari
Fill out the Petition for Writ of Certiorari, which tells the court that you want to appeal.
Fill out the Statement of the Case, which should briefly summarize the reasons you think the
ULJ’s decision was incorrect. You do not need to make detailed arguments in the Statement
of the Case, because you will make detailed arguments later in your Brief. Do not attach any
additional documents to your Statement of the Case.
Fill out the Writ of Certiorari, which notifies the respondents that you have filed your appeal
and orders the respondents to provide certain records. The Clerk of the Appellate Courts will
sign the Writ of Certiorari after you file it and will return it to you (see step 7 for more
information about the signed Writ of Certiorari).
The party who files the appeal is called the “relator.”
The other parties are called the
“respondents.” In an unemployment appeal, the respondents include:
(1) the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED), and
(2) the employer(s), if any.
Fill in all of the blanks on the forms. If you do not fill out all of the blanks, the Clerk of the
Appellate Courts may have to return the forms to you, and it may cause you to miss your deadline
to appeal.
Revised 12/15/17
