A quick definition of restraining statute:

A restraining statute is a law that limits or restricts certain rights. It is also known as a disabling statute. It can be passed by any lawmaking body, including legislatures, administrative boards, and municipal courts. It is different from an enabling statute, which permits what was previously prohibited or creates new powers. A restraining statute can be used to prevent certain actions or behaviors that are deemed harmful or dangerous. It is important to understand the specific restrictions and limitations outlined in a restraining statute to avoid breaking the law.

A more thorough explanation:

A restraining statute is a type of law that limits or curbs certain rights. It is also known as a disabling statute. This type of statute prohibits certain actions or behaviors that may be harmful to society or individuals. For example, a restraining statute may prohibit the sale of certain drugs or the possession of firearms by convicted felons.

One example of a restraining statute is the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in employment, public accommodations, and other areas of life. This statute limits the ability of employers and businesses to discriminate against individuals with disabilities, thereby protecting their rights and ensuring equal opportunities.

Another example of a restraining statute is the Clean Air Act, which limits the amount of pollution that industries and businesses can emit into the air. This statute curbs the harmful effects of air pollution on the environment and public health.

Overall, restraining statutes are important tools for protecting the rights and well-being of individuals and society as a whole. They help to ensure that everyone is treated fairly and that harmful behaviors are kept in check.

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
