clearance

Read a random definition: substitution of parties

A quick definition of clearance:

Clearance: Clearance refers to two different things. First, it is the permission given to a ship to leave port. This permission is usually given by the port collector and is called a certificate of clearance. Second, it is the amount of time that must pass before a movie can be shown again in a particular area. This is to give one theater the exclusive right to show the movie without competition from other theaters.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Clearance refers to:

  1. Maritime law: The right of a ship to leave port or the certificate issued by the port collector that shows the ship's right to leave port.
  2. Movie industry: The time that must pass between runs of the same movie within a particular area. It is a theater's exclusive right of exhibition over competing theaters.

Examples:

  • A ship must obtain clearance from the port collector before leaving the port.
  • A movie theater has clearance to show a particular movie exclusively for a certain period of time before other theaters can show it.

The first example illustrates the maritime law definition of clearance. It shows that a ship must have the right to leave port, which is granted by the port collector through a clearance certificate. The second example illustrates the movie industry definition of clearance. It shows that a theater has the exclusive right to show a movie for a certain period of time before other theaters can show it, which is known as clearance.

I have this professor for a legal analysis and writing for clients class that said you will need a JD and legal experience to get an A. He also grades ridiculously hard but leaves no comments on why you got that grade or what you did wrong. Dude is pissing me off with the whole you are wrong figure it out approach.
