Terms Used In Maryland Code, COURTS AND JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS 5-1007
- 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.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, in a civil action filed by a prisoner that is an appeal on the record, the court is not required to hold a hearing if it determines that a hearing is not necessary for the disposition of the matter.
