Simple English definitions for legal terms

cancel

Read a random definition: suapte natura

A quick definition of cancel:

Cancel: To make something no longer valid or in effect. For example, if you write a check and then cross it out or write "void" on it, it can no longer be used as money. You can also cancel a contract, which means you don't have to do what it says anymore. This usually happens if the other person breaks the contract or if you both agree to cancel it. Canceling something is also called rescinding or terminating it.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: To cancel something means to make it no longer valid or in effect. This can happen in a legal context, such as when a person cancels a contract or voids a check. When something is cancelled, it cannot be used or enforced anymore.

  • If you write a check and then decide not to use it, you can cancel it by tearing it up or writing "void" on it.
  • A person might cancel a contract if the other party breaches the terms or if both parties agree to terminate it.

These examples illustrate how cancelling something can render it no longer valid or enforceable. In the case of a cancelled check, it cannot be cashed or used as legal tender. In the case of a cancelled contract, the parties are released from their obligations under the agreement.

ty!! i got $$.5 so it was a no brainer
@LawOfAchilles: i think, if the CoA is similar, it depends maybe on where you want to practice? If you want to end up practicing in Omaha, maybe Iowa is better?

esp with the scholarship!!
I don't really know where I want to end up practicing yet, but I've enjoyed living in the midwest so far. I think I might ultimately like to end up as in-house corporate for the work life balance.

I lived in Bloomington for a long time, can't speak to the law school but can answer Qs about the city if you'd like
@ParallelAgreeableOrangutan: How do you think it is to live in as a 20-something going to grad school? The comparison is Iowa city, so not an extremely high bar for liveliness. (No offense intended towards IC. I think it's a lovely place)

If you're outdoorsy, it's nice--obv no coasts or mountains, but two small lakes really close, lots of places you can go on a lowkey hike or camp without paying park fees or anything really

@LawOfAchilles: if you like the outdoors, you're gonna love bloomington.
both uiowa and iu have a good reputation, especially with midwestern law firms. their alumni resources are pretty top notch too.
