Simple English definitions for legal terms

clear

Read a random definition: LEXIS

A quick definition of clear:

CLEAR: When something is clear, it means there are no problems or questions about it. For example, if you have a clear schedule, it means you don't have any plans or things to do at that time. If a bank clears a check, it means they have enough money to pay it. When a ship clears customs, it means they have permission to leave the port. Clear means everything is okay and there are no issues.

A more thorough explanation:

clear, adj.

  1. Free from any burdens or claims.
  2. Free from any doubts; certain.
  3. Easy to understand; not confusing.

clear, vb.

  1. To declare someone innocent or not guilty of a crime.
  2. (Of a bank) to pay a check or draft from the funds held on behalf of the maker.
  3. (Of a check or draft) to be paid by the bank from the funds held on behalf of the maker.
  4. To settle customs, harbor dues, etc. and obtain official permission to leave the port (in maritime law).

Adjective:

  • After paying off all his debts, John's credit report was clear of any encumbrances.
  • The weather forecast was clear, so we decided to go on a picnic.
  • The instructions were clear and easy to follow.

Verb:

  • The suspect was cleared of all charges after the police found evidence of his innocence.
  • The bank cleared the check and transferred the money to the recipient's account.
  • The check cleared yesterday, so the money is now available in my account.
  • The ship had to clear customs before it could leave the port.
These examples illustrate the different meanings of the word "clear." In the adjective form, it means free from any burdens or doubts and easy to understand. In the verb form, it means to declare someone innocent, to pay a check or draft, to settle customs, or to obtain official permission to leave the port.

im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years
