adjective law

Read a random definition: judicial trustee

A quick definition of adjective law:

Adjective law, also known as procedural law, is a set of rules that govern how legal procedures and practices are carried out. It is different from substantive law, which deals with the rights and duties of people under the law. Adjective law is all about the methods used to maintain those rights and how to get justice in a court of law.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Adjective law (aj-ik-tiv) refers to the body of rules that govern procedure and practice, also known as procedural law.

For example, when someone files a lawsuit, there are specific rules and procedures that must be followed in order for the case to proceed. These rules are part of the adjective law.

Another example is the rules of evidence in a trial. The rules dictate what evidence can be presented and how it can be presented. These rules are also part of the adjective law.

Overall, the adjective law deals with the methods and procedures used to enforce substantive law, which is the body of law that defines rights and duties.

They emailed me back when I hit them up saying I will have a decision with in two weeks which means the 31st is the last day. Was really hoping for today as I think before Christmas would mean an A because sending an R a couple days before Christmas is butt
