Terms Used In Kansas Statutes 59-2402b
- 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.
- Chief judge: The judge who has primary responsibility for the administration of a court but also decides cases; chief judges are determined by seniority.
Upon the filing of such request the chief judge may assign the case in its entirety to a district judge or only for a determination of the specific issues raised. If the chief judge assigns only for determination of specific issues, the case may be reassigned to the district magistrate judge. The determination of issues shall be as on appeal as provided in Kan. Stat. Ann. §§ 59-2408 and amendments thereto.
