A quick definition of judicial bypass:

Term: Judicial Bypass

Definition: Judicial bypass is a process that allows a person to get permission from a court for an action that would normally require someone else's approval. For example, if a law requires a minor to tell their parent before getting an abortion, but the minor is qualified to make the decision on their own, they can ask a court for permission to get the abortion without telling their parent.

A more thorough explanation:

Judicial Bypass

Judicial bypass is a legal process that allows a person to obtain a court's approval for an action that would normally require the approval of someone else. For example, in some states, minors are required to notify their parents before obtaining an abortion. However, a minor who is qualified can obtain a court order that permits the abortion without parental notice.

One example of judicial bypass is when a minor wants to get an abortion but is unable to obtain parental consent. In this case, the minor can go to court and ask for permission to have the abortion without notifying their parents.

Another example is when a person wants to change their name but needs the approval of their parents or guardians. If the parents or guardians do not approve, the person can go to court and ask for permission to change their name without their approval.

Judicial bypass is a legal process that allows a person to obtain a court's approval for an action that would normally require the approval of someone else. The examples illustrate how a minor can obtain an abortion without parental notice and how a person can change their name without the approval of their parents or guardians. These examples show how judicial bypass can be used to protect a person's rights and allow them to make important decisions about their own lives.
