A quick definition of pocket immunity:

Term: Pocket Immunity

Definition: Pocket immunity is a type of immunity that comes from a prosecutor's decision not to prosecute, instead of from a formal grant of immunity. Immunity means being protected from something, like being protected from getting sick by getting a vaccine. In this case, pocket immunity means being protected from being prosecuted for something because the prosecutor decided not to pursue charges. It's like getting a free pass because the prosecutor chose not to go after you.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Pocket immunity refers to immunity that results from a prosecutor's decision not to prosecute, instead of from a formal grant of immunity. It is a type of immunity that protects a person from being prosecuted for a crime, even though they may have committed it.

Example: If a prosecutor decides not to charge a person with a crime, that person has pocket immunity. For example, if a person is suspected of committing a crime, but the prosecutor decides not to pursue charges due to lack of evidence, that person has pocket immunity.

Explanation: Pocket immunity is a type of immunity that is not formally granted, but rather results from a prosecutor's decision not to prosecute. It is important to note that pocket immunity is not the same as formal immunity, which is granted by a court or other legal authority. Pocket immunity is a more informal type of immunity that can be granted by a prosecutor's decision not to pursue charges.

Hi everyone! Decided a bit too late that I wanted to go into law. GPA currently stands at 3.76 (one more semester to go) and I'm interested in going into immigration law. Anybody got any advice for LSAT studying and applications? I plan on taking a gap year to have some time for internships and such :)
