Pseudonym name

Read a random definition: highway

A quick definition of Pseudonym name:

A pseudonym name is a fake name that is used instead of a person's real name in a court case to keep their identity a secret. For example, instead of using the name "John Smith," the name "Doe" or "Roe" might be used instead. This is done to protect the person's privacy.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A pseudonym name is a name used in place of the actual name of a person to protect their anonymity. This is often used in legal cases, such as civil cases, where the plaintiff's identity needs to be kept confidential.

Example: In a civil case, a plaintiff may use the pseudonym name "Roe" or "Doe" instead of their real name. For example, in the landmark case Roe v. Wade, the plaintiff used the pseudonym "Jane Roe" to protect her identity.

Explanation: The use of a pseudonym name allows individuals to protect their privacy and avoid unwanted attention or harassment. In legal cases, it can also prevent retaliation or harm from the opposing party. The examples illustrate how pseudonym names are commonly used in legal cases to protect the identity of the plaintiff.
