- 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.
- Writ: A formal written command, issued from the court, requiring the performance of a specific act.
If the defendant shall have been recognized as herein provided, and shall fail to appear and receive judgment on such appeal or writ of error, or at any new trial that may have been ordered, the supreme court or the court below in which the judgment was rendered, or any judge of either court, shall cause such defendant to be arrested, upon process to be issued for that purpose.
