A quick definition of quasi ex delicto:

Term: QUASI EX DELICTO

Definition: Quasi ex delicto means something that appears to be a result of a wrongdoing, even though it may not be an actual offense. This term is often used in historical legal contexts to describe situations where someone may be held responsible for damages or losses that were caused unintentionally or indirectly. Essentially, it means that someone is being held accountable for something that they didn't necessarily do on purpose, but that still had negative consequences for others.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Quasi ex delicto is a Latin term that means "arising as if from delict." It refers to a situation where someone is held responsible for damages or losses even though they did not commit a specific wrongful act. Instead, the responsibility arises from a legal obligation or duty that they failed to fulfill.

Example: A common example of quasi ex delicto is when a property owner is held responsible for injuries that occur on their property, even if they did not cause the injury themselves. For instance, if someone slips and falls on a wet floor in a store, the store owner may be held liable for the injuries, even if they did not intentionally cause the spill. This is because the store owner had a duty to maintain a safe environment for customers, and they failed to fulfill that duty.

Another example of quasi ex delicto is when a company is held responsible for environmental damage caused by their operations, even if they did not intend to cause harm. In this case, the company had a duty to take reasonable steps to prevent environmental damage, and they failed to fulfill that duty.

These examples illustrate how quasi ex delicto can hold someone responsible for damages or losses that arise from a legal duty or obligation, even if they did not commit a specific wrongful act.

If you do it from the attorney side you will be skirting the left and right limits of laws like the NDAA to conduct domestic espionage or how to kidnap or spy on people in foreign countries without committing war/international crimes. JAG would be very very general and location based. At one unit you can be the personal attorney to a commander not even having your own office or desk, next one you can be leading the prosecution of terrorist and rapist and the next one be the legal OK for drone striking people. It is a very varied job you have little control over.

The last jag I worked with had a folding picnic table as his desk and had to bring his office chair home every night because people would steal it and he hated using a bucket as a seat. All he did was keep commanders from being fired cause they kept doing illegal shit. It is a varied journey.

For one I would try not asking questions that start with “How do you recommend grooming a child?”
11:06
lol people just have bad connotations with it, is it grooming to have your kid play hockey with you and watch games so they want to play when they turn 6?
Dkk
