Simple English definitions for legal terms

induction

Read a random definition: imitation

A quick definition of induction:

Induction: Induction is the process of starting something or bringing someone into a group. It can also mean using specific examples to come up with a general idea or rule. For example, if you see that all the apples you have eaten are red, you might use induction to assume that all apples are red. This is different from deduction, which is when you start with a general idea and use it to come up with specific examples.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Induction is the process of starting or introducing something. It can also refer to the process of making general conclusions based on specific examples.

For example, when three new members are welcomed into a legal fraternity, this is called induction. It is the process of initiating them into the group.

Another example of induction is when a group looks at several examples and then makes a general conclusion based on those examples. For instance, if a group looks at several examples of poorly written paragraphs and concludes that it is a bad practice to start a new paragraph abruptly, this is an example of induction.

These examples illustrate how induction can refer to both the process of starting something and the process of making general conclusions based on specific examples.

My berkeley paragraph finally disappeared. I definitely think it is just an indicator that they are actively reviewing files, and does not mean anything about A, WL, or Rs
