Simple English definitions for legal terms

et al.

Read a random definition: Green River ordinance

A quick definition of et al.:

Et al. is a short way of saying "and others" in Latin. It's used when you don't want to list out all the names of a group of people, but instead just want to refer to the rest of the group. For example, if you were talking about a book written by three authors, you might say "Smith et al. wrote this book" instead of listing out all three names.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Et al. is short for the Latin expression “et alia,” “et alius,” or “et alii.” Et al. means “and others” or “and the other people” and usually follows the name of a person or a list of names and represents the remainder of the group.

  • Smith et al. conducted a study on the effects of caffeine on sleep.
  • The article was written by Johnson, Lee, and et al.

These examples show how "et al." is used to refer to additional authors or participants in a study or project. In the first example, Smith is the lead author and "et al." represents the other researchers who contributed to the study. In the second example, Johnson and Lee are named specifically, but "et al." is used to refer to any additional authors who may have contributed to the article.

@windyMagician: I agree with that. I used to think politics was for people who just wanted attention and were willing to say anything to fit in with a social group. I had a community college professor who changed my mind on that.
