- Affirmed: In the practice of the appellate courts, the decree or order is declared valid and will stand as rendered in the lower court.
- 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.
- Defendant: In a civil suit, the person complained against; in a criminal case, the person accused of the crime.
- Trial: A hearing that takes place when the defendant pleads "not guilty" and witnesses are required to come to court to give evidence.
If the judgment of the associate circuit judge shall be affirmed, or if, upon a trial in the court to which the appeal is taken, the defendant shall be convicted, the court shall require a new recognizance in a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars, for such time as shall appear necessary, not exceeding one year, and render judgment against the defendant for all costs in the case.
