Simple English definitions for legal terms

leave of court

Read a random definition: lex loci celebrationis

A quick definition of leave of court:

Leave of court is when a judge gives permission to do something that is not usually allowed in court. For example, a defense lawyer might ask for leave of court to let their client leave the courtroom during a graphic autopsy photo presentation. This permission is also called "leave."

Leave to sit is when a group within a larger group, like a committee, is given permission to meet while the larger group is also meeting. This is often used in parliamentary law.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Leave of court is when a judge gives permission to do something that is not part of the usual legal process.

For example, if a defendant is very upset by graphic autopsy photos, their lawyer might ask for leave of court to let the defendant leave the courtroom during that part of the trial.

This phrase is often shortened to just "leave."

Definition: Leave to sit is when a group within a larger group (like a committee) gets permission to meet while the larger group is also meeting.

For example, if a school board is having a meeting, they might give leave to sit to a committee that is working on a specific project. This means the committee can meet in a separate room while the school board meeting is happening.

Both of these phrases involve getting permission to do something that is not part of the usual process. They show that sometimes, in special circumstances, the rules can be bent a little bit to make things easier or more fair.

There’s someone I found on here with the username threeoutchange and if my understanding is correct that’s a reference to the debut album by a pretty cool 90s-00s Japanese band called Supercar. I geeked a little
