The article aims to formulate a proposal to improve the model of appealing judgments currently operating in Polish civil proceedings on the basis of the solutions in place in federal court proceedings in the United States. With the use of the analysis of relevant statutes and secondary legislation, case law and views of legal scholars, the most important aspects of the topic were presented with comparison to the Polish civil procedure regulations. As a result of the analysis appeals as of right and by permission were distinguished, the latter not being present in Polish civil proceedings, and de lege ferenda suggestions based on American solutions were formulated regarding the Polish civil proceedings.
