Q: How can I appeal a court case online? The judge gave me a website address however we cannot access it from the UK.

We need to appeal a court order however the website is blocked. We are based in the UK and the court is in Kentucky.

A: A Kentucky attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. One possibility is that the court website might have restrictors that limit access beyond a given geographic radius - hence the difficulty in accessing from the UK. If that's the case, two possible options could include (1) contacting the court clerk to learn if the website has such limitations, (2) contacting a Kentucky attorney to discuss assisting with the appeal, as a local counsel. Whichever route you consider using, try to move quickly without further delay. Nationwide in the U.S., time windows for appeals are often very short, in the order of days. Good luck
