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.

My site will help people prepare for court appearances of all kinds. Please visit often to learn and memorize the meaning behind legal jargon.

The Sentence You Never Thought Would Happen: What To Do Next

Being charged with a horrible crime and arrested is terrifying enough. Spending weeks in jail with people who really did the crimes of which they are convicted is even more terrifying.
