Terms Used In Alabama Code 33-4A-19

  • 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.

A Mobile Bay or bar pilot apprentice may not be discharged except for cause, and any apprentice or boatkeeper so discharged may appeal the discharge to the commission, and if the commission, upon an investigation, finds that the discharge was without sufficient cause, the commission may annul the discharge and reinstate the apprentice.
