- 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.
- Appellate: About appeals; an appellate court has the power to review the judgement of another lower court or tribunal.
- Road: includes public bridges and may be held equivalent to the words "county way" "county road" or "state road". See Tennessee Code 1-3-105
- Trial: A hearing that takes place when the defendant pleads "not guilty" and witnesses are required to come to court to give evidence.
When an appeal is taken from any order of the monthly county court made in any proceedings before it under this chapter, the court may employ counsel to represent the interests of the road improvement district affected by appeal, on the trial of the order in the appellate courts, and the expenses of counsel shall be paid out of the fund of the district.
