Who is the appellant and appellee when a minor who is represented by the state and is found guilty of a crime and wants to appeal?

Wording is kind of confused - - if you mean that the minor was represented by an appointed public defender - and he wanted to appeal the case after being found guilty - the minor/public defender is the "appellant." The "appellee" is the court to whom the appeal is addressed.
Clarification:
If the minor is appealing a conviction, the minor is the appellant and the appellee is most likely the State. The public defender (an advocate) and the appellate court are not parties to the case, so neither of them would be listed as appellant or appellee.
Some states reverse the meaning of appellant and appellee for some reason, so this question is best directed to the appropriate Public Defender's office.
