Terms Used In Louisiana Revised Statutes 13:3276

  • 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.

An appeal may be granted by the court to which an action or proceeding was transferred and which rendered the judgment therein, and the judgment rendered therein may be enforced or executed, in the same manner as if the action or proceeding had been instituted in such court initially.
