Terms Used In Kansas Statutes 48-2921

  • 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.
  • Trial: A hearing that takes place when the defendant pleads "not guilty" and witnesses are required to come to court to give evidence.

(a) In a case subject to appellate review under Kan. Stat. Ann. §§ 48-2922 or subsection (a) of Kan. Stat.

Ann. § 48-2917, the record of trial and action thereon shall be transmitted to the judge advocate general for appropriate action.

(b) Except as otherwise required by this code, all other records of trial and related documents shall be transmitted and disposed of as the governor may prescribe by regulation.
