A:
To appeal a small claims judgment in California, you must file a Notice of Appeal with the small claims court within 30 days of the judgment. The case will then be transferred to the superior court, and you will have an opportunity to present your arguments and evidence before a different judge in a higher court. Be sure to follow the proper procedures and deadlines for filing the appeal to ensure it is considered by the higher court.
