bar examination

An examination for law school graduates who want a license to
practice law. Once licensed in a particular state, an attorney can
practice law in that state and in federal courts in that state. If the
attorney moves to another state, he or she will need to take that
state's bar exam, unless the new state allows the attorney to practice
without further examination after he or she has established legal
residence. Lawyers from one state may occasionally practice in another
with the consent of the court alone. Typically, bar exams are multi-day
tests of endurance and knowledge, covering a wide range of legal
topics.

appeal

A written request to a higher court to modify or reverse the
judgment of a trial court or intermediate level appellate court.
Normally, an appellate court accepts as true all the facts that the
trial judge or jury found to be true, and decides only whether the
judge made mistakes in understanding and applying the law. If the
appellate court decides that a mistake was made that changed the
outcome, it will direct the lower court to conduct a new trial, but
often the mistakes are deemed "harmless" and the judgment is left
alone. Some mistakes are corrected by the appellate court -- such as a
miscalculation of money damages -- without sending the case back to the
trial court. An appeal begins when the loser at trial -- or in an
intermediate level appellate court -- files a notice of appeal, which
must be done within strict time limits (often 30 days from the date of
judgment). The loser (called the appellant) and the winner (called the
appellee) submit written arguments (called briefs) and often make oral
arguments explaining why the lower court's decision should be upheld or
overturned.

ancillary probate

A probate proceeding conducted in a different state from the one
the deceased person resided in at the time of death. Usually, ancillary
probate proceedings are necessary if the deceased person owned real
estate in another state.

abstract of trust

A condensed version of a living trust document, which leaves out
details of what is in the trust and the identity of the beneficiaries.
You can show an abstract of trust to a financial organization or other
institution to prove that you have established a valid living trust,
without revealing specifics that you want to keep private. In some
states, this document is called a "certification of trust."
