Terms Used In Maryland Code, CRIMINAL PROCEDURE 8-401
- 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.
- Writ: A formal written command, issued from the court, requiring the performance of a specific act.
The failure to seek an appeal in a criminal case may not be construed as a waiver of the right to file a petition for writ of error coram nobis.
