Sequester

Read a random definition: impound

A quick definition of Sequester:

Sequester: Sequester can mean two things. First, it is when people involved in a trial, like the jury or a witness, are kept away from the public so that they are not influenced by what others say or think. They may stay in a hotel until the trial is over. Second, it is when someone's property is taken away by a legal order.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Sequester can have two meanings:

  1. The act of isolating someone during trial proceedings. This is done to preserve fairness during the trial. For example, the jury or some witness may be sequestered. This means that when they are not fulfilling their roles at trial, they may live in a hotel so that they are not influenced by the opinions of journalists, friends, and family.
  2. The act of seizing property by a writ of sequestration.

Example: During a high-profile trial, the jury may be sequestered to prevent them from being influenced by outside opinions. They may be housed in a hotel and not allowed to communicate with anyone outside of the trial.

Example: In a legal dispute, a court may order the sequestration of property. This means that the property is seized and held until the dispute is resolved.

Both examples illustrate the concept of sequester, which involves isolating or seizing something to preserve fairness or resolve a dispute.

It is shitty that was a pattern of behavior but I am glad someone is finally standing up for themselves. Like I can be a pretty rigid butthole guy when it comes to getting stuff but a complete lack of empathy or situational awareness shown by the school and their staff is mind blowing. When I was talking about it in the office they all thought I was lying cause it sounds so crazy.
