- 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.
- Trial: A hearing that takes place when the defendant pleads "not guilty" and witnesses are required to come to court to give evidence.
The clerk of a trial court is under no duty to commence the preparation of the record of appeal in any case until the appeal bond, when required by law, is filed in the trial court by the appellant.
