A quick definition of avowry:

Term: AVOWRY

Definition: Avowry is a legal term used in common-law pleading. It refers to an acknowledgment made by a defendant in response to a replevin action, where they admit to taking someone else's property and provide a justification for doing so. For example, if the defendant took the property because they believed it was damaged and needed to be repaired, they would provide an avowry to explain their actions.

Related term: Cognizance(4)

A more thorough explanation:

Avowry is a term used in common-law pleading. It refers to an acknowledgment made in response to a replevin action, where one admits to taking property and justifies the taking.

For example, if someone takes property that they believe belongs to them, but the original owner disputes this, the original owner may file a replevin action to recover the property. In response, the person who took the property may make an avowry, acknowledging that they took the property but justifying their actions by claiming that they believed it was rightfully theirs.

Another example could be if a landlord takes possession of a tenant's property as collateral for unpaid rent. The tenant may file a replevin action to recover their property, and the landlord may make an avowry, acknowledging that they took the property but justifying their actions by claiming that they were entitled to do so under the terms of the lease agreement.

These examples illustrate how avowry is used in common-law pleading to acknowledge the taking of property and provide a justification for that taking.

Going to law school with you is even more fun than going to San Sebastian, Irún, Hendaye, Biarritz, Bayonne or being sick to my stomach on the Travesera de Gracia in Barcelona partly because in your orange shirt you look like a better happier St. Sebastian partly because of my love for you, partly because of your love for yoghurt partly because of the fluorescent orange tulips around the birches partly because of the secrecy our smiles take on before people and statuary

Man, there is this girl I visit every month at this one restaurant who I used to go skinny dipping with naked like @ararara always talked about in San Diego. We randomly reconnected like two months ago at this place she works at and we talk a lot about John Steinbeck books. If I don't visit her this month, she might be sad. However, this is my first day not sick and I worry about getting her sick and I am broke. What should I do LSD?
