Simple English definitions for legal terms

obstacle preemption

Read a random definition: maintenance fee

A quick definition of obstacle preemption:

Obstacle preemption is a principle that says federal or state law can replace state or local law if it gets in the way of achieving the full goals of the higher law. For example, if a state law conflicts with a federal law, the federal law takes precedence. This principle helps ensure that laws are consistent and effective in achieving their intended purposes.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Obstacle preemption is the principle that federal or state law can override or replace state or local law that creates a barrier to achieving the full purposes and objectives of the overriding federal or state law.

For example, if a state law prohibits the use of a certain type of pesticide, but a federal law allows it, the federal law would preempt the state law because the state law creates an obstacle to achieving the full purposes and objectives of the federal law.

Another example is the conflict between state and federal laws regarding marijuana. While some states have legalized marijuana for medical or recreational use, it is still illegal under federal law. In this case, federal law preempts state law because the state law creates an obstacle to achieving the full purposes and objectives of the federal law.

im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years
