NOTE: In 1997 the legislature enacted AS 18.16.030(j), which specifies the procedure for appeal of an order denying a petition to bypass parental consent to an abortion. According to ch. 14, ยง 8 SLA 1997, AS 18.16.030(j) has the effect of amending Appellate Rules 204, 210, 212, and 213 by establishing specific time limits applicable to certain appeals and by instructing the supreme court to modify or dispense with formal requirements applicable to certain briefs. Instead of amending individual rules to implement AS 18.16.030, the supreme court has adopted a separate rule on judicial bypass appeals. See Appellate Rule 220.
