warrant of commitment

Read a random definition: Model Penal Code

A quick definition of warrant of commitment:

A warrant of commitment is a legal document that authorizes the detention or imprisonment of a person. It is issued by a court or other authorized entity and is typically used when someone has been found guilty of a crime or has failed to comply with a court order. Essentially, it is a way for the authorities to enforce the law and ensure that individuals who have been deemed a threat to society are removed from the community.

A more thorough explanation:

A warrant of commitment is a legal document that authorizes the detention or imprisonment of a person. It is issued by a court or a judge and is usually used when a person has been found guilty of a crime or has failed to comply with a court order.

John was found guilty of theft and was sentenced to six months in jail. The judge issued a warrant of commitment, which authorized the police to take John into custody and transport him to the prison.

Another example is when a person fails to pay child support as ordered by the court. The court may issue a warrant of commitment, which authorizes the police to arrest the person and take them to jail until they pay the child support.

These examples illustrate how a warrant of commitment is used to enforce court orders and ensure that individuals who have been found guilty of a crime or have failed to comply with a court order are held accountable for their actions.

Jackfrost has a point though, a good way to stand out with your apps is to do as much "optional" stuff as possible, including the interview

Defining “postmodernism” is a daunting task. One commentator has likened it to “trying to nail gelatin to a wall.” Part of the difficulty is postmodernism’s heterogeneity. As Angela Harris has noted, “There are as many different definitions of postmodernism as there are postmodernists.”
