Terms Used In Louisiana Revised Statutes 41:462
- 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.
- 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.
- Trial: A hearing that takes place when the defendant pleads "not guilty" and witnesses are required to come to court to give evidence.
On the day fixed for the trial of the contest and in as expeditious a manner as may be consistent with justice the register shall hear the evidence and the arguments, and shall decide the entries, valid or invalid, and shall affirm or cancel them accordingly. The decision shall be final so far as the executive department is concerned, unless an appeal is taken under existing laws. If the entry is invalid and is cancelled, the register shall notify the parties to the contest, or their attorneys.
