Terms Used In New Jersey Statutes 2A:18-41
- 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.
- Jurisdiction: (1) The legal authority of a court to hear and decide a case. Concurrent jurisdiction exists when two courts have simultaneous responsibility for the same case. (2) The geographic area over which the court has authority to decide cases.
- Trial: A hearing that takes place when the defendant pleads "not guilty" and witnesses are required to come to court to give evidence.
2A:18-41. After a judgment has been docketed as herein provided, no execution shall issue in the Special Civil Part. The Special Civil Part shall have original jurisdiction with respect to the granting of a new trial, the taking of an appeal or any other matter affecting the validity of the original judgment. Any order in connection with the validity of a judgment shall be filed in both the Superior Court and in the Special Civil Part.
