A more thorough explanation:

A PAIS

A pais is a term from Law French that means "at or to the country" or "at issue."

There are no specific examples provided for this term.

The term "a pais" is not commonly used in modern English, but it was used in legal contexts in the past. It refers to a situation where a legal case is being heard in a rural or remote area, rather than in a city or town. This could have implications for the outcome of the case, as the local customs and attitudes of the people in the area might influence the decision. The term "at issue" refers to a situation where a particular point or question is being debated or disputed in a legal case.

For example, if a case involving a dispute over land ownership was being heard in a small rural town, it might be said to be "a pais." This would indicate that the local customs and attitudes of the people in the area could have an impact on the outcome of the case. If the case was being heard in a larger city, it might not be considered "a pais" because the decision would be less likely to be influenced by local factors.
