A quick definition of dedimus potestatum:

Term: Dedimus potestatum

Definition: Dedimus potestatem is a fancy way of saying that someone has been given special power by a court. In America, this means that someone has been given the authority to question a witness. In England, it can mean that someone has given their lawyer the power to make decisions for them.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Dedimus potestatem is a legal term that refers to a special authority granted to an individual by a court or a client. It means that the person has been given the power to perform a specific legal action.

In American law, the term is commonly used to refer to the authority given to someone to depose a witness. This means that the person has the power to ask questions and obtain testimony from a witness under oath.

For example, if a lawyer wants to gather evidence for a case, they may request a dedimus potestatem from the court to depose a witness. This allows them to ask the witness questions and obtain a sworn statement that can be used as evidence in court.

In English law, the term can have a broader meaning. It can refer to a client granting decision-making authority to their attorney. This means that the attorney has the power to make decisions on behalf of the client, such as settling a case or signing a contract.

For example, if a client is unable to attend a legal proceeding, they may grant a dedimus potestatem to their attorney to make decisions on their behalf. This allows the attorney to act as the client's representative and make decisions that are in their best interest.

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.
