Terms Used In New Jersey Statutes 52:14-17.4

  • 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.
  • Appellate: About appeals; an appellate court has the power to review the judgement of another lower court or tribunal.
  • Testimony: Evidence presented orally by witnesses during trials or before grand juries.
  • Transcript: A written, word-for-word record of what was said, either in a proceeding such as a trial or during some other conversation, as in a transcript of a hearing or oral deposition.
The Governor shall be the respondent and shall be designated by the name of his office only. He may designate the Attorney-General or other counsel to represent the respondent in the proceeding. The Attorney-General shall file with the Appellate Division the original or a certified copy of the record of the proceedings under review, except a transcript of the testimony which shall be filed by the appellant if the same was taken stenographically. By leave of court depositions may be taken for use upon the hearing of the appeal.
