Terms Used In Louisiana Revised Statutes 13:2514
- 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.
- In forma pauperis: In the manner of a pauper. Permission given to a person to sue without payment of court fees on claim of indigence or poverty.
- 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 city council of New Orleans may provide by ordinance that in all appeals from the Municipal and Traffic Court of New Orleans, there shall be required the posting of a reasonable costs bond to defray the cost of preparing the transcript in connection with any such appeal. This shall not be construed to bar any appellant from taking an appeal in forma pauperis.
