Simple English definitions for legal terms

point

Read a random definition: ad coelum doctrine

A quick definition of point:

A point is a specific and important idea or argument in a legal case or a discussion. In a meeting, a point can also refer to a request for information, clarification, or order. It can also mean a fee paid upfront for a loan or a unit used for quoting prices of stocks, bonds, or commodities.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A specific legal argument or issue, or a type of request made in a meeting or deliberative body.

  • Point of error: A legal argument that there was an error in the trial process that affected the outcome of the case.
  • Point of order: A request made in a meeting to enforce the rules of procedure.
  • Mortgage point: A fee paid up front to a lender when taking out a mortgage loan.
  • Stock point: A unit used to quote the price of a stock or other financial asset.

These examples illustrate different ways in which the term "point" can be used. In the legal context, a "point of error" refers to a specific argument that a lawyer might make in court. In a meeting or deliberative body, a "point of order" is a request to enforce the rules of procedure. In finance, a "mortgage point" is a fee paid up front when taking out a mortgage loan, while a "stock point" is a unit used to quote the price of a stock or other financial asset.

Irvine is being snobby and wont start any review until end of Nov.
Yeah, it’s tough. I’m distracting myself by playing good video games after work :)
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
