Simple English definitions for legal terms

more or less

Read a random definition: blue books

A quick definition of more or less:

Term: MORE OR LESS

Definition: More or less means that something is either bigger or smaller than what is stated. It is often used in legal documents like deeds and contracts to show that the exact amount is not known and that there may be a slight difference. This means that neither party can complain if there is a little bit more or a little bit less than what was originally stated.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: More or less means that a quantity can be larger or smaller than what is stated. This phrase is often used in deeds and contracts to show that the actual amount may differ from what is believed at the time of the agreement. It is a way to acknowledge the risk of a slight difference in quantity.

For example, a property deed may state that the property contains 120 acres, more or less. This means that the actual size of the property may be slightly different from 120 acres, but both parties accept this risk.

In a contract, the seller's wheat field may be expected to produce 50 bushels per acre, more or less. This means that the actual amount of wheat produced may be slightly more or less than 50 bushels per acre, but both parties accept this risk.

The use of more or less in these examples shows that both parties understand that the actual quantity may differ from what is stated, but they still agree to the terms of the agreement.

I mean, idk how it's possible to end birth right citizenship without amending the constitution because to me the 14th amendment is pretty clear about it.
ross ulbricht tried to hire a hitman to kill 5 people
i am not that sympathetic to him

@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: That might have been an FBI agent. It was most likely him and he was most likely doing it to retrieve stolen funds that corrupt FBI agents stole, but yeah moral gray area but me personally, cool with hitmen. It's not like it is uncommon to hire hitmen. I don't think the action itself is necessarily wrong but the intent behind it can be.

Like, Boeing whistblowers being killed by hitmen = wrong but a guy hiring hitmen to retrieve stolen funds = good to me.

@Dkk: Yeah, for sure. My guess is it'll go to SCOTUS and it'll be 8-1 or 7-2, saying that EO was unconstitutional.

Indeed. I need a count for how many exectuive orders he has signed and how many already have pending lawsuits.
