deception

Read a random definition: proof of claim

A quick definition of deception:

Deception is when someone intentionally makes another person believe something that is not true. This can be done by lying, withholding information, or making false promises. It is against the law to deceive someone in many situations, such as in business or when committing a crime. Deception is a form of dishonesty that can cause harm to others.

A more thorough explanation:

Deception is when someone intentionally makes another person believe something that is not true. It involves hiding the truth and creating a false impression. According to Ohio's criminal code, deception can be caused by false or misleading statements, withholding information, preventing someone from acquiring information, or any other action that creates a false impression.

  • Theft by deception: This occurs when someone uses deception to steal from another person. For example, if someone sells a fake product by making false claims about its quality, they are committing theft by deception.
  • Unfair and deceptive trade practices: This happens when a business misleads consumers in order to gain an unfair advantage. For instance, if a company advertises a product as having certain features that it does not actually have, they are engaging in unfair and deceptive trade practices.

Both of these examples illustrate how deception involves intentionally misleading someone in order to gain something. In both cases, the person or business committing the deception is trying to benefit themselves at the expense of others.

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.
