Terms Used In Maine Revised Statutes Title 14 Sec. 5513
- 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.
- Bail: Security given for the release of a criminal defendant or witness from legal custody (usually in the form of money) to secure his/her appearance on the day and time appointed.
- Writ: A formal written command, issued from the court, requiring the performance of a specific act.
Application for such writ by any person shall be made to any Justice of the Supreme Judicial Court or Superior Court, regardless whether or not the Supreme Judicial Court or Superior Court is in session. It shall be made returnable before such justice to whom application is made. If the writ is denied and an appeal taken to the law court, the person restrained may be admitted to bail within the discretion of the justice rendering judgment thereon, pending such appeal.
