Terms Used In Minnesota Statutes 176.301

  • 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 lies from the judgment of the district court as in other cases.
