Terms Used In Louisiana Revised Statutes 13:313

  • 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.
  • Appropriation: The provision of funds, through an annual appropriations act or a permanent law, for federal agencies to make payments out of the Treasury for specified purposes. The formal federal spending process consists of two sequential steps: authorization

Judges of courts of appeal shall be reimbursed for reasonable expenses incurred while absent from their respective parishes of residence on official duty, and provision for payment of such expenses shall be included by the legislature in the general expense appropriation of the respective courts of appeal.
