Terms Used In Tennessee Code 20-18-104

  • 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.
  • Jurisdiction: (1) The legal authority of a court to hear and decide a case. Concurrent jurisdiction exists when two courts have simultaneous responsibility for the same case. (2) The geographic area over which the court has authority to decide cases.

Except as provided in § 20-18-105, the court of appeals shall have jurisdiction of appeals from the decisions of a three-judge panel appointed pursuant to this chapter. Notice of such appeal must be filed with the court of appeals.
