Re: appeals
If it is a state supreme court decision, there are no further appeals available in Colorado courts, though you may be able to win a reconsideration. If the case involved a federal issue or U.S. Constitutional right, you can appeal through the federal courts. Call the clerk of the United States District Court for the district of Colorado.
If the decision was in the United States Supreme Court, the process will take a little longer. First you'll have to wait till a few Justices die off or retire, then you'll have to simultaneously elect a President whose jurisprudential views reflect your own, then you'll have to hope somebody else has a case with substantially the same issue you lost on, and the Court overturns your case. You'll be dead, of course, but your living relatives will feel better about it.
