Law Bites

This section aims to break down complicated legal terminology into easy-to-understand explanations for the everyday person.

With complex legal language often acting as a barrier to people’s understanding of the law, our goal is to define common United States legal words and phrases in plain English.
We want to make the overall system of laws in this country more transparent and accessible.

In bite-sized posts, we will clearly describe terms used in areas like:

– Criminal law
– Contract law
– Family law
– Housing regulations
– Employment policies
– Consumer protections

We summarize definitions from reliable legal resources into simplified overviews anyone can grasp. No law degree required!
