Learning About Legal Jargon

Hello, my name is Solomon Rew. I would like to use this site to talk about legal terms and definitions. The legal world is filled with jargon that can confuse and frighten the average person. The information I share should help people who are facing a civil or criminal case in court. When I ended up in court to fight for compensation for my injuries, I was disturbed to hear all of the jargon flying around the room. I did not understand much of those proceedings until I asked my lawyer to explain. At the next visit to the courtroom, I was prepared since I spent time studying legal terms. My site will help people prepare for court appearances of all kinds. Please visit often to learn and memorize the meaning behind legal jargon.
