praecipe

Read a random definition: first-filed rule

A quick definition of praecipe:

A praecipe is a type of legal document that tells someone to do something or explains why they should not do something. It comes from a Latin word that means "I command (or order) [this]." In the United States, praecipes are used to make a defendant do something or to ask the court to do something, like set a trial date or enter a judgment. The word "praecipe" is also used in other legal terms.

A more thorough explanation:

Praecipe is a type of writ that commands or prompts some sort of action. The word comes from the Latin word praecipio, which means "I command (or order) [this]."

  • A praecipe can be used to command a defendant to perform an act or to show why they should not perform that act.
  • A praecipe can also be used to request that the court perform an action, such as entering a judgment or setting a trial date, and that the clerk of the court issue a writ for it.

For example, if someone is being sued and the plaintiff wants the court to order the defendant to do something, they can file a praecipe. Or, if a party wants the court to schedule a hearing or trial, they can file a praecipe requesting that action.

The Latin term "praecipe" is also used in other legal terms, such as praecipe in capite, praecipe quod faciat, praecipe quod permittat, and praecipe quod reddat.

@babycat: if you are happy with them they look perfect, and if they are as big as you say I am sure people will still be looking with or without the piercing so you will get attention either way
