Read a random definition: collateral negligence

A quick definition of legal proceeding:

A legal proceeding is when someone goes to court to get something they have a right to or to make someone do something they should do. It's like asking a judge to help solve a problem or make a decision.

A more thorough explanation:

A legal proceeding is a process that is allowed by law and is carried out in a court or tribunal to obtain a right or to enforce a remedy.

For example, a person who has been injured in a car accident may start a legal proceeding to obtain compensation for their injuries. Another example is a divorce proceeding, where a couple goes to court to legally end their marriage and settle issues such as child custody and property division.

Legal proceedings can take many forms, including trials, hearings, and arbitrations. They are used to resolve disputes between individuals, organizations, or the government.

Overall, legal proceedings are an important part of the justice system and are used to ensure that people are treated fairly and that their rights are protected.
