Terms Used In Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure 2128.1

  • 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.
  • Deposition: An oral statement made before an officer authorized by law to administer oaths. Such statements are often taken to examine potential witnesses, to obtain discovery, or to be used later in trial.
  • Testimony: Evidence presented orally by witnesses during trials or before grand juries.

Depositions made a part of the record on appeal may be attached in a reduced format consisting of no more than four pages of deposition testimony per physical page or in any electronic format approved by the court.
