The 14th Amendment states that no state shall "deprive any Person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws"
These protections apply to undocumented individuals and legal residents alike #Legalese
Reading legalese will be like:
COMES NOW the undersigned party of the first part, jointly and severally, to assert that Defendant’s specious and spurious surplusage is, nunc pro tunc, vexatious and harassing notwithstanding the foregoing feelings about it

As former POTUS William Jefferson Clinton aka Bill Clinton aka "Slick Willie" might say. . .
It depends upon what the meaning of the phrase "did it" is. . . 😉😇

Questa è una delle cose che ripeto sempre quando insegno informatica forense: non bisogna MAI scrivere “ovvero” in una relazione tecnica.
Dobbiamo essere chiari, non ambigui.

Lawyer peeps: I’m wondering if this comes down to a contracts case. Could the artist say they signed a contract to perform at the Kennedy Center, and not the Trump Kennedy Center as a defensive should they get sued? #loophole #contracts #legalese #strategery

Dia just updated its terms and privacy policy — and wow.
Notably, Dia collects significantly more comprehensive data, including "pages you visit" and "queries submitted to and responses created by the Dia Assistant" - much more invasive than @arcinternet's approach

I’m tired of Arm Chair Quarterbacks yapping breathlessly about the implications of every move by the GOP.
It’s simple: if you aren’t an atty, understanding how EOs and GOP “threats” are issued affecting ACTUAL law- perhaps just shut up. We need real info. #legalese #crime #courts #executiveorders

So what translation device are we using to read through the latest budget bill presented in Congress? I don't want to just take people's word for it anymore, but I don't have a law degree either. #USbudgetbill #legalese #notalawyer #resources #congress
A pop-up notification indicating that the terms have been updated. The message states that by accepting, users agree to the updated Terms of Service, which includes an arbitration provision and class action waiver. It also mentions the processing of user information as described in the Privacy Policy, including potential sharing with third parties about the use of Bloomberg.com. A button labeled "Accept" is provided for users to acknowledge the terms.
While perfectly legal, it is remarkable that to read a Bloomberg article, you must first agree to binding arbitration and waive your class action rights.

Blue Lizard looks at a fuel pump sticker from the Texas Department of Agriculture detailing state and local taxes on motor fuel. At the top of the text in bold print, it says "Howdy, neighbors!"
