Term: INLAGATION
Definition: Inlagation is a historical legal term that means restoring an outlaw to the protection of the law. It is the opposite of utlagation, which means outlawry.
inlagation (in-lə-gā-shən), n. [Law Latin] Hist. The act of restoring an outlaw to the protection of the law; inlawry. This means that someone who was previously declared an outlaw (outside the protection of the law) is now being brought back under the law's protection.
One example of inlagation is when a person who was previously declared an outlaw is granted a pardon by the king or queen, and is allowed to return to society as a law-abiding citizen. Another example is when a person who was banished from a town or city is allowed to return and live there again.
These examples illustrate how inlagation is the act of restoring someone's legal rights and protections, after they have been taken away. It is a way of giving someone a second chance, and allowing them to rejoin society as a productive member.
