Simple English definitions for legal terms

separate count

Read a random definition: show of hands

A quick definition of separate count:

A separate count is a term used in legal proceedings to refer to a specific charge or allegation that is distinct from other charges or allegations. For example, if someone is accused of multiple crimes, each crime would be listed as a separate count. This helps to keep track of each individual charge and ensure that they are all properly addressed in court.

A separate examination is when a witness is questioned privately, away from other witnesses, in a legal case. This is done to ensure that the witness is not influenced by the testimony of others. Additionally, a separate examination can also refer to the questioning of a wife without her husband present, to ensure that she is not being coerced into signing a legal document.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A term used in legal contexts that refers to a type of count or calculation that is done separately from others.

  • Separate Covenant: A covenant that is distinct and separate from others.
  • Separate Demise: A type of lease that grants possession of a property to a tenant for a specific period of time.
  • Separate Estate: A type of property ownership where each owner has a distinct and separate share of the property.
  • Separate Examination: A private interrogation of a witness or a wife outside the presence of her husband.

One example of a separate count is when a company is calculating its profits for a specific product line. The company may want to do a separate count for each product to determine which one is the most profitable.

Another example of a separate examination is when a court clerk or notary interrogates a wife outside the presence of her husband to ensure that she is signing a document willingly and without coercion.

These examples illustrate the definition of separate count as a type of count or calculation that is done separately from others, and separate examination as a private interrogation of a witness or a wife outside the presence of her husband.

@BulbasaurNoLikeCardio: aw of course I want you around but I was thinking of the 7sage diversity statement in their admissions course where this guy writes about how he and his wife take in foster kids. he got into NW with below median LSAT. you have significant past adversity and interesting work experience I would shoot your shot

and I honestly don't think the t14 require significantly more intellect than any other law school. the content is pretty much the same
15:44
the rigor of the T14 law schools is almost entirely the result of who they allow to attend

Well so far Vandy is highest ranked I went for, hopefully they like me. Its not really the academics/rigor. Following rules and meeting standard is easy it is the competition for class rank and with other students that I think would be my greatest struggle

but doesn’t grade inflation at the top schools almost make it easier to get higher grades than it does at >t14
babycat

@info-man: agreed
babycat
15:48
just my opinion but grade inflation is probably more of an undergrad thing since law school grades tend to be on a curve

While representing himself in court, McKinley's sentence was reduced from 100 years to 25, a sentence he served in full. While still incarcerated, he took the LSAT, or Law School Admission Test, and applied to law school - no shit, thats impressive how much he lowered his sentence being pro say
