- Defendant: In a civil suit, the person complained against; in a criminal case, the person accused of the crime.
- 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.

- Probation: A sentencing alternative to imprisonment in which the court releases convicted defendants under supervision as long as certain conditions are observed.
In the event the appeal goes to the circuit court and the defendant shall be sentenced to jail or hard labor for the county by the circuit court, he shall be remanded to jail to answer said judgment, and in the event that such judgment and sentence is suspended and the defendant is released on probation, the court shall inform him as to his duties under such probation order, and cause the probation bond provided for in this article to be filed with the clerk of the probate, domestic relations or juvenile court, and said bond shall thereafter be subject to forfeiture as if filed originally in said probate, domestic relations or juvenile court as provided for in this article. Upon the entry of such judgment, said circuit court shall cause to be filed with the clerk of the juvenile court a copy of its judgment, which, when so filed, shall thereupon become also the judgment of the juvenile court, and the juvenile court shall have the same power, jurisdiction and authority to deal with said defendant under such judgment, as if such judgment had been entered in the juvenile court in the first instance.
