Simple English definitions for legal terms

e.g.,

A quick definition of e.g.,:

Term: e.g.

Definition: E.g. is short for "for example." It's used to show one or more examples that support what you're saying. In legal writing, it means that the source you're using is just one of many that support your argument. You should always put a comma after e.g. In regular writing, you can use e.g. to give examples that help explain what you're talking about. For example, if you're selling winter clothes, you might say "Winter clothes on sale (e.g., coats, gloves, hats)." This means that you're selling more than just those three things, but they're good examples of what you have.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: E.g. is short for exempli gratia, which is a Latin phrase that means "for example." It is used to introduce one or more examples that support a statement or argument.

In formal legal writing, e.g. is a signal that indicates the following source is one example out of many that could be given. It is used to show that the source supports the argument being made.

For example:

  • Winter clothes on sale (e.g., coats, gloves, hats). Get them while they last!
  • There are many types of fruit (e.g., apples, bananas, oranges).

These examples illustrate how e.g. is used to introduce examples that support a statement. In the first example, e.g. is used to show that coats, gloves, and hats are examples of winter clothes that are on sale. In the second example, e.g. is used to show that apples, bananas, and oranges are examples of different types of fruit.

It's important to note that e.g. should be followed by a comma and can be preceded by other signals, such as "see" or "but see." In general writing, e.g. can be used to give examples that clarify or support a statement.
