Simple English definitions for legal terms

exemplary

Read a random definition: temporary total disability

A quick definition of exemplary:

Exemplary: When something is exemplary, it means it is a really good example for others to follow. It can also mean that something is used as a warning to show what not to do. For example, if someone behaves really well, they can be described as having exemplary behavior. If someone gets in trouble and has to pay a lot of money as punishment, that is called exemplary damages. Exemplification is when a copy of an official record is made to use as evidence.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Serving as an ideal example; commendable. Also, serving as a warning or deterrent.

Examples:

Her exemplary work ethic and dedication to her job earned her a promotion.
The judge ordered the company to pay exemplary damages as a warning to others who might engage in similar unethical practices.

The first example illustrates how someone's behavior can be considered exemplary when it sets a high standard for others to follow. The second example shows how exemplary can also refer to punishment that is meant to deter others from engaging in similar behavior.

@texaslawhopefully: Yeah, I disagree it was an insurrection and all that. I just don't think it should have happened in the first place. We should have decentralized digital identities so we can secure voting so there is no question about the validity of our elections but if I got this one party that says there should be no I.D.'s to vote and they have been saying this for the last like 15 years that I can recall, at a certain point people are just not going to care or the people that do will just come kill you eventually.

It's all expected, and it's like if its predictable, how can I blame some idiot for marching on the capital. I mean, I almost went to that event.

I don’t think bashing dkk’s view is the right answer here. He’s an example of how dem messaging failed. Dems wanted to create a platform that represented minority groups (poc, lgbtq) while also benefiting the majority through housing plans, tax cuts on the middle class, and tax increases for the rich. For some reason, I think the messaging came off that the dem platform was focused only on the underrepresented groups.

@ImpartialLion: I'm not bashing his view with regard to that the Dem's platform looked focused on the minority. My point is that Trump has zero respect for institutions, political norms, and the Constitution.

All of which Trump has openly said

Looking forward, dems gotta improve the messaging. I think bernie did a good job of that by making the focus “the working class,” which goes beyond race or gender.

@texaslawhopefully: i dont disagree with those statements. I just think we have a lot to learn going into next election

I mean my hope is the GOP gets wiped out in the midterms and has to recentralize its message

I would say Texas is pretty nice here. I do think you got the right idea there though @impartialLion and maybe people can apply that to the broader context of why when someone just starts mischaracterizing me as a racist, homophobic, fatphobic, ableist for multiple days, I might just give up and start cussing at em lol. I mean, if someone did that to me in a bar I would get violent and I have been violent in the past with people. Being in bar fights is like an awesome experience and everyone should do it at least once.

I try not to be violent these days cus every time I do assault someone or shove glass in someones face I clould go to jail but usually people are cool about it.

@texaslawhopefully: Yeah, I mean it could happen to the senate and house like it did to Obama but if he keeps his overall approval rating up, even if someone does not like individual policies it's compromise: https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trumps-approval-ratings-break-records-democrats-back-him-2018900

@Dkk: Fair. My guess is (if the DNC is smart) dems change there messaging to be more appealing to moderates, they start winning and they hopefully that encourages republicans to move back to the center.

Dkk

18:47

Yeah, exactly.
