Terms Used In Alabama Code 12-20-31
- 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.
- Appellate: About appeals; an appellate court has the power to review the judgement of another lower court or tribunal.
- circuit: means judicial circuit. See Alabama Code 1-1-1
- Probate: Proving a will
- Trial: A hearing that takes place when the defendant pleads "not guilty" and witnesses are required to come to court to give evidence.
From any order of a circuit or district court or probate court granting or refusing substitution under this article, an appeal lies to the appropriate appellate court as from final judgments or decrees in civil cases. From an order of a district court, an appeal to the circuit court lies as in other cases, and the trial is de novo.
