direct attack

Read a random definition: National Institute of Corrections

A quick definition of direct attack:

Direct attack refers to the process of challenging a court decision within the same legal proceeding. This can involve filing a motion for a new trial or appealing the decision to a higher court. It is different from a collateral attack, which involves challenging a court decision in a separate legal proceeding. Direct attacks can also include taking independent legal action to prevent the enforcement of a court decision.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Direct attack refers to an attempt to challenge or change a court decision through legal proceedings within the same case or trial. This can be done by filing a motion for a new trial or by appealing the decision to a higher court. It is different from collateral attack, which involves challenging a court decision in a separate legal proceeding.

Examples:

  • John was found guilty of a crime and sentenced to prison. He filed a motion for a new trial, which is a direct attack on the original judgment.
  • Mary lost a civil lawsuit and appealed the decision to a higher court. This is also a direct attack on the original judgment.

These examples illustrate how direct attack involves using legal procedures within the same case to challenge or modify a court decision. It is a way for parties to seek justice and ensure that their rights are protected.
