discontinuance

Read a random definition: recognitor

A quick definition of discontinuance:

Discontinuance is when someone stops a lawsuit voluntarily or dismisses it. It can also refer to when someone with an estate-tail gives away more land than they are allowed to, which can cause problems for the rightful heir.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Discontinuance is the termination of a lawsuit by the plaintiff, either by voluntary dismissal or nonsuit. It can also refer to the termination of an estate-tail by a tenant in tail who conveys a larger estate in the land than is legally allowed.

Example 1: A plaintiff decides to withdraw their lawsuit before a verdict is reached. This is known as a voluntary dismissal or discontinuance.

Example 2: A tenant in tail conveys a larger estate in the land than is legally allowed, such as making a feoffment in fee-simple, for the life of the feoffee, or in tail. This is also known as discontinuance.

These examples illustrate how discontinuance can refer to the termination of a legal action or the termination of an estate-tail. In both cases, the action or estate is ended prematurely or in a way that is not legally allowed.

@jackfrost11770: I have my undergrad in Intelligence and Terrorism and worked a good bit in the IC so I can answer some broad questions but not many direct because the nature of the field. If you want to go to law school and get your JD it really depends what intel work you would want to do and where you want to live.

If you do it from the attorney side you will be skirting the left and right limits of laws like the NDAA to conduct domestic espionage or how to kidnap or spy on people in foreign countries without committing war/international crimes. JAG would be very very general and location based. At one unit you can be the personal attorney to a commander not even having your own office or desk, next one you can be leading the prosecution of terrorist and rapist and the next one be the legal OK for drone striking people. It is a very varied job you have little control over.

The last jag I worked with had a folding picnic table as his desk and had to bring his office chair home every night because people would steal it and he hated using a bucket as a seat. All he did was keep commanders from being fired cause they kept doing illegal shit. It is a varied journey.

For one I would try not asking questions that start with “How do you recommend grooming a child?”

EvolBunny

11:06

lol people just have bad connotations with it, is it grooming to have your kid play hockey with you and watch games so they want to play when they turn 6?

Dkk

11:06

@EvolBunny: Maybe, maybe but I think the TBI is better advice.

EvolBunny

11:07
