Simple English definitions for legal terms

at will

Read a random definition: doctrine of equivalents

A quick definition of at will:

Term: AT WILL

Definition: At will means that someone can do something whenever they want to. For example, if someone has a job at will, it means that they can be fired or quit whenever they want to, without needing a reason. It's like having a toy that you can play with or put away whenever you feel like it.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: At will means subject to one's discretion, as one wishes or chooses. This term is often used in legal relationships, where it means that the relationship can be terminated or discharged by either party without cause. For example, employment at will means that an employer can terminate an employee at any time, for any reason, or for no reason at all.

Examples:

  • My apartment lease is at will, which means I can move out whenever I want without penalty.
  • The company's policy is to hire employees at will, so they can terminate them if they're not a good fit.
  • As a freelancer, I work on projects at will, choosing which ones to take on and when to complete them.

These examples illustrate how the term at will can be used in different contexts to describe a relationship that is subject to one's discretion. In each case, the parties involved have the freedom to make choices and end the relationship without cause.

bro was just asking a question
U have great stats! I wouldn't be too nervous. Did u write why Northwestern and why Chicago?
oh cornells going wl crazy
16:22
having a masters degree is probably a positive, it shows you can do grad level coursework and probably generated a strong rec letter
@RightPlant: you have a great chance at Northwestern!
Chicago, also not a bad chance, but it is more of a crapshoot
Esp since they care more about GPA than LSAT

@jackfrost11770: Man, I watched a video summarizing the stuff I missed in Arcane. You know, all the boring mel and ambessa stuff and that shit is actually incredibly important to the lore. That stuff is all LeBlanc shit and LeBlanc is like one of the most powerful characters in league.
