Terms Used In Louisiana Revised Statutes 13:2487.24
- Affidavit: A written statement of facts confirmed by the oath of the party making it, before a notary or officer having authority to administer oaths.
- Appeal: A request made after a trial, asking another court (usually the court of appeals) to decide whether the trial was conducted properly. To make such a request is "to appeal" or "to take an appeal." One who appeals is called the appellant.
- Clerk of court: An officer appointed by the court to work with the chief judge in overseeing the court's administration, especially to assist in managing the flow of cases through the court and to maintain court records.
- Indictment: The formal charge issued by a grand jury stating that there is enough evidence that the defendant committed the crime to justify having a trial; it is used primarily for felonies.
- Transcript: A written, word-for-word record of what was said, either in a proceeding such as a trial or during some other conversation, as in a transcript of a hearing or oral deposition.
- Trial: A hearing that takes place when the defendant pleads "not guilty" and witnesses are required to come to court to give evidence.
In an appeal from a judgment rendered in a criminal case by the city court, the clerk, or the city judge, shall at once make a transcript of the proceedings in the case, and shall file the same in the office of the clerk of court to which the appeal is returnable.
In cases where the appeal is on trial de novo, the transcript shall consist of the affidavit, the information or the indictment, as the case may be.
