Simple English definitions for legal terms

malicious prosecution

Read a random definition: reverse FOIA suit

A quick definition of malicious prosecution:

Malicious prosecution is when someone files a lawsuit against another person without a good reason and with bad intentions. This can be a civil or criminal lawsuit. If someone is a victim of malicious prosecution, they can file a claim to get justice.

A more thorough explanation:

Malicious prosecution is when someone files a lawsuit without a good reason and with bad intentions. This can be a civil or criminal lawsuit. To fix this, the person who was wrongly sued can file a claim called a tort claim for malicious prosecution. This is also called vexatious litigation.

Example 1: John is angry at his neighbor, Sarah, for not returning his lawnmower. He decides to file a lawsuit against her for stealing it, even though he has no evidence that she did. This is an example of malicious prosecution because John filed the lawsuit without a good reason and with bad intentions.

Example 2: Mary is a police officer who arrests a man named Tom for a crime he didn't commit. She knows he is innocent but wants to make an arrest to look good in front of her boss. She files a criminal lawsuit against Tom, even though she has no evidence that he committed the crime. This is an example of malicious prosecution because Mary filed the lawsuit without a good reason and with bad intentions.

These examples show how someone can file a lawsuit without a good reason and with bad intentions. This is not fair to the person who is being sued and can cause a lot of stress and financial burden. That's why there is a way to fix this by filing a tort claim for malicious prosecution.

What does "Hold" mean on the result column?
21:28
@ClockworkBlue: on LSD?
yeah
babycat
21:30
A hold is not exactly a waitlist, but it means they’re waiting to give you a decision later
babycat
21:31
@llama: nice
21:32
@ClockworkBlue: what babycat said, the link reads as the school always initiates the 'hold' status, however [in my case] sometimes applicants ask to be placed on 'hold' pending a score (LSAT, final semester of UG, etc).
21:32
@babycat: just had to get that off my chest.
cornell kira is just about performing well under pressure and having substantive content in your questions
so just try to stay calm and pace your responses so you give good answers during the interview
21:44
so just don't sperg out on camera and ur good?
yeah pretty much, you get some leniency too. they expect you to not be perfect under pressure
