Terms Used In Indiana Code 34-13-6-6
- 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.
- Judgment: means all final orders, decrees, and determinations in an action and all orders upon which executions may issue. See Indiana Code 1-1-4-5
- Trial: A hearing that takes place when the defendant pleads "not guilty" and witnesses are required to come to court to give evidence.
- Venue: The geographical location in which a case is tried.
Sec. 6. A change of venue from the county is not allowed in the appeal, but a change of judge shall be allowed as provided for civil actions. A petition for rehearing may be filed by any party within fifteen (15) days after the decision, order, and judgment of the court. Pending that time and until a petition so filed is ruled upon, the order and judgment of the court may be certified to the board or council. At the time of ruling upon a petition, the court may grant time for filing an appeal bond and special bills of exceptions embracing as much of the record as is necessary to present fully any questions. The appeal must be fully perfected within sixty (60) days from the final ruling and action of the court upon the petition for a rehearing and shall be taken direct to the supreme court of Indiana, where it shall be placed upon the advance calendar of the court. The rules of trial procedure govern in all matters of procedure not otherwise provided for by this chapter.
