Terms Used In Missouri Laws 530.060

  • 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.

The cause shall be heard as soon as practicable after the issues are joined, and shall be triable in the same manner as other civil cases, except that in any of the appellate courts the latter may direct any specific issue or issues of fact to be tried in some circuit court, or before some judge thereof, or before a referee as provided by law, if deemed more convenient to the parties or the court; and in such event, a return of the proceedings of such trial shall be made to the appellate court, in such manner and time as the orders of the latter may require.
