Simple English definitions for legal terms

engross

Read a random definition: master lease

A quick definition of engross:

Engross: To write a legal document, like a deed, in big letters or prepare a copy of it for signing. It can also mean to make a copy of a bill before it becomes a law. In the past, it was used to describe buying a lot of something to control the price. It can also mean to fully occupy or absorb someone's attention.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: To prepare a legal document, such as a deed or bill, for execution or final legislative vote. It can also mean to buy large quantities of a stock or commodity in an effort to control the price. Additionally, it can mean to fully occupy or absorb.

Examples:

  • Lawyers engrossed the deed to the property before it was signed.
  • The bill was engrossed before the final vote in the legislature.
  • The company tried to engross the market by buying up all the available stock.
  • She was so engrossed in her book that she didn't hear the phone ring.

The first two examples illustrate the definition of preparing a legal document for execution or final vote. The third example shows the definition of buying large quantities of a stock or commodity. The fourth example demonstrates the definition of being fully occupied or absorbed in something.

im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years
