Terms Used In Alabama Code 15-6-41

  • 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.

Any undertaking given under any provision of this chapter must be returned by the judge taking the same to the clerk of the court to which an appeal is taken, within 10 days after taking it; and, failing to do so, he may be attached for contempt.
