Simple English definitions for legal terms

creature

Read a random definition: aqua quotidiana

A quick definition of creature:

Term: CREATURE

Definition: A creature is another word for an animal. It can also refer to something that only exists because a law was created to make it exist, like a government agency or doctrine.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A creature is another word for an animal. It refers to any living being that is not a plant or a human.

Example: A lion is a creature that lives in the wild. It is a type of animal that is known for its strength and hunting abilities.

CREATURE OF STATUTE: This term refers to a doctrine, governmental agency, or other entity that only exists because of a legislative act. For example, a government agency that regulates the use of pesticides would be considered a creature of statute because it was created by a law passed by the government.

Example: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is a creature of statute. It was created by the U.S. government to enforce laws related to environmental protection. Without the legislative act that brought it into being, the EPA would not exist.

The examples illustrate the definition of creature as an animal, and the concept of creature of statute as an entity that only exists because of a law. The lion is an example of a creature because it is a type of animal, while the EPA is an example of a creature of statute because it is a government agency that only exists because of a law passed by the government.

@babycat: If the person I am mentoring decides to listen to my advice instead of just discussing my advice I will pay you to tutor her. You seem like a smart, good and well put together person that she can probably learn well from.

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?
