Simple English definitions for legal terms

riotous assembly

Read a random definition: quiete clamantia

A quick definition of riotous assembly:

A riotous assembly is a group of 12 or more people who gather together and cause a disturbance of the peace. This is against the law and can lead to punishment. It is different from an unlawful assembly, which is when three or more people gather with the intention of committing a violent crime or causing a breach of the peace. In some places, assembly can also refer to a group of people who come together to discuss and make decisions, like a club or a parliament.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A group of 12 or more people who gather unlawfully and cause a disturbance of the peace.

Example: A group of people gather in the streets, shouting and throwing objects at buildings and cars. The police arrive and arrest them for riotous assembly.

This example illustrates the definition of riotous assembly because it involves a group of people gathering unlawfully and causing a disturbance of the peace. The fact that there are 12 or more people involved is also important, as this is the minimum number required for an assembly to be considered riotous.
