Simple English definitions for legal terms

procedure

Read a random definition: Eurodollar

A quick definition of procedure:

Procedure: A set of rules that explain how things should be done in a certain situation. It's like a recipe that tells you what steps to follow to make a cake. In the legal world, procedure refers to the way that laws are enforced and how cases are handled in court.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Procedure refers to the set of rules and guidelines that govern the conduct of legal proceedings. It outlines the steps that must be followed in order to resolve a legal dispute or issue.

For example, in a criminal trial, the procedure may include the following steps:

  • Arrest of the suspect
  • Booking and processing of the suspect
  • Arraignment, where the charges are read and the suspect enters a plea
  • Discovery, where both sides exchange evidence and information
  • Trial, where evidence is presented and a verdict is reached
  • Sentencing, where the punishment is determined

These steps must be followed in a specific order and according to specific rules in order to ensure a fair and just outcome.

Another example of procedure is the process for filing a lawsuit. This may include:

  • Filing a complaint with the court
  • Serving the complaint on the defendant
  • Discovery, where both sides exchange evidence and information
  • Pre-trial motions, where either side can ask the court to make a ruling on a specific issue
  • Trial, where evidence is presented and a verdict is reached
  • Appeal, where either side can challenge the outcome of the trial

These procedures ensure that legal disputes are resolved in a fair and orderly manner, and that the rights of all parties involved are protected.

Going to law school with you is even more fun than going to San Sebastian, Irún, Hendaye, Biarritz, Bayonne or being sick to my stomach on the Travesera de Gracia in Barcelona partly because in your orange shirt you look like a better happier St. Sebastian partly because of my love for you, partly because of your love for yoghurt partly because of the fluorescent orange tulips around the birches partly because of the secrecy our smiles take on before people and statuary

Man, there is this girl I visit every month at this one restaurant who I used to go skinny dipping with naked like @ararara always talked about in San Diego. We randomly reconnected like two months ago at this place she works at and we talk a lot about John Steinbeck books. If I don't visit her this month, she might be sad. However, this is my first day not sick and I worry about getting her sick and I am broke. What should I do LSD?
