Simple English definitions for legal terms

combatant

Read a random definition: exclusive license

A quick definition of combatant:

Combatant: A person who is directly involved in fighting during a war. This can include members of the military or volunteer groups who are under military command. Combatants are subject to the laws of war. The opposite of a combatant is a non-combatant, who is not involved in fighting.

Enemy Combatant: A combatant who has been captured and detained while fighting for the opposing side during a war. They may be held without charge and do not have the right to legal representation. Even if they are a citizen of the United States, they can still be designated as an enemy combatant.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A combatant is a person who directly participates in hostilities. Legitimate combatants are members of the armed forces or uniformed members of a militia or volunteer corps, under military command and subject to the laws of war. On the other hand, an enemy combatant is a combatant captured and detained while serving in a hostile force during open warfare.

Examples:

  • A soldier fighting in a war is a combatant.
  • A member of a militia group under military command is a legitimate combatant.
  • An enemy combatant is a person captured while fighting for the opposing side in a war.

The examples illustrate that a combatant is someone who is directly involved in fighting during a war. Legitimate combatants are those who are part of a recognized military force, while enemy combatants are those who are fighting against that recognized force.

@Thespinelessspinnerspinnedspinepriortopervingpines: I am unsure what ''mewing" means without context. However, I can say that if you mean a technique that involves placing your tongue on the roof of your mouth to improve your jawline and facial structure, I can confirm you are correct, and Mewing works, for jawline is my most notable feature expressed by new acquaintances.

I wish I could, but this is the new me. After successfully building an artificial savant syndrome inducing machine [Patent Pending], I have obtained extraordinary abilities and talents in specific areas, notably written communication and understanding. I will use these newly acquired abilities to score a 180 in April. Regretfully, this trade off comes at a great cost to normies, such as yourself, who have to endure my rather mechanical expressive syntax.

@HBCUGirlll: Just as a warning, I would be really wary of a school that will accept you with a 143 LSAT. A lot of the time they are predatory institutions that will put you into massive debt you may never be able to pay off. This is not to say you absolutely can't get into a law school that suits your needs, just make sure to check the terms and conditions before you accept
