Simple English definitions for legal terms

abstraction

Read a random definition: noncapital

A quick definition of abstraction:

Abstraction: Abstraction is when you think about something without thinking about a specific example. It's like having an idea that doesn't apply to anything real. Abstraction can also mean writing down important information from a legal document. But sometimes, abstraction can be bad, like when someone takes money they're not supposed to. That's called an abstraction of funds.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Abstraction is the mental process of thinking about something without referring to a specific example. It can also refer to a theoretical idea that is not applied to any particular instance. Abstraction can also mean summarizing and recording a legal instrument in public records. Lastly, it can refer to the act of taking something with the intent to injure or defraud.

  • When we talk about the concept of "love," we are talking about an abstraction because we are not referring to any specific instance of love.
  • The idea of a perfect society is an abstraction because it is a theoretical idea that has not been applied to any particular instance.
  • After a court case, the judgment is recorded in public records through a process called abstraction.
  • Stealing money with the intent to harm someone is an example of abstraction as an act of taking something with the intent to injure or defraud.

These examples illustrate how abstraction can refer to different things, from a mental process to a legal procedure to a criminal act.

I mean, idk how it's possible to end birth right citizenship without amending the constitution because to me the 14th amendment is pretty clear about it.
ross ulbricht tried to hire a hitman to kill 5 people
i am not that sympathetic to him

@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: That might have been an FBI agent. It was most likely him and he was most likely doing it to retrieve stolen funds that corrupt FBI agents stole, but yeah moral gray area but me personally, cool with hitmen. It's not like it is uncommon to hire hitmen. I don't think the action itself is necessarily wrong but the intent behind it can be.

Like, Boeing whistblowers being killed by hitmen = wrong but a guy hiring hitmen to retrieve stolen funds = good to me.

@Dkk: Yeah, for sure. My guess is it'll go to SCOTUS and it'll be 8-1 or 7-2, saying that EO was unconstitutional.
