Simple English definitions for legal terms

said

Read a random definition: altercation

A quick definition of said:

Said: A word used in legal documents to refer back to something that was already mentioned. It means the same thing as "above-mentioned" or "aforesaid." For example, if someone wrote "the said driver drove said automobile in a negligent manner," they mean that the driver mentioned before was driving the car mentioned before in a careless way.

A more thorough explanation:

Said is an adjective used to refer back to a thing that was previously mentioned or identified. It is commonly used in legal documents to avoid repetition and confusion. It can also mean aforesaid or above-mentioned.

  • "The said driver drove said automobile in a negligent manner."
  • "The contract was signed by the said parties on the said date."

In the first example, "said" is used to refer back to the driver and the automobile that were previously mentioned. In the second example, "said" is used to refer back to the parties and the date that were previously identified.

By using "said," the writer can avoid repeating the same words and make the document clearer and more concise.

@HeadyInvincibleRabbit: Sorry fren. Try to keep ur chin up and be patient (as tough as that sounds). Also, did you receive an LSAC conformation email ensuring your apps were sent?
17:51
@MrThickRopes: Try spicy water (sparkling water). It has all the pros of beer and none of the negatives.

I heard Wyte Claws are outlawed on law school campuses since there are no laws when drinkin claws, hence they defeat the purpose of learning law, is that true?

@HeadyInvincibleRabbit: https://www.reddit.com/r/lawschooladmissions/comments/1jt3hdb/share_of_lsdata_users_that_have_heard_back_from/ Re 87% in that time frame have heard back (of LSD users). So figure 70% of BC applicants use LSD, I would say there is a decent chance you will hear back hopefully soon. IG from the school chat on here there was a recent R wave, so if that was not you, that is a plus
@llama thanks bro just tryna stay positive
in addition to formal LOCIs that I attach to emails, i can also send shorter emails closer to deposit deadlines to express my continued interest, right??
20:29
@HeadyInvincibleRabbit: LOCIs every 4 weeks if you are wait listed is what I have been told. On schools you have not heard from, I have also heard you should not contact them. I disagree: admittance is a binary event [with infinite inputs like ur gpa, lsat, how the adcom is feeling that day, if they like u for whatever reason outside of your control] : you get in or you do not, so if by u emailing them a few times to express your continued interest/ if you have a question, I do not see the issue with that. However, someone else here may say otherwise. Take what I say with a micro grain tho lol
