Terms Used In New Hampshire Revised Statutes 541:9

  • 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.
  • Clerk of court: An officer appointed by the court to work with the chief judge in overseeing the court's administration, especially to assist in managing the flow of cases through the court and to maintain court records.
  • Evidence: Information presented in testimony or in documents that is used to persuade the fact finder (judge or jury) to decide the case for one side or the other.
Upon the filing of an appeal, the clerk of court shall issue an order of notice requiring the commission to file with the court a certified copy of the record in the proceeding, together with such of the evidence introduced before or considered by the commission as may be specified by any party in interest, as well as such other evidence, so introduced and considered, as the commission may deem proper to certify, together with the originals or copies of all exhibits introduced in evidence before the commission.
