blue sky laws

The laws that aim to protect people from investing in sham
companies that consist of nothing but "blue sky." Blue sky laws require
that companies seeking to sell stock to the public submit information
to and obtain the approval of a state or federal official who oversees
corporate activity.

beyond a reasonable doubt

The burden of proof that the prosecution must carry in a criminal
trial to obtain a guilty verdict. Reasonable doubt is sometimes
explained as being convinced "to a moral certainty." The jury must be
convinced that the defendant committed each element of the crime before
returning a guilty verdict.

answer

A defendant's written response to a plaintiff's initial court
filing (called a complaint or petition). An answer normally denies some
or all facts asserted by the complaint, and sometimes seeks to turn the
tables on the plaintiff by making allegations or charges against the
plaintiff (called counterclaims). Normally a defendant has 30 days in
which to file an answer after being served with the plaintiff's
complaint. In some courts, an answer is simply called a "response."

acknowledged father

The biological father of a child born to an unmarried couple who
has been established as the father either by his admission or by an
agreement between him and the child's mother. An acknowledged father
must pay child support.

battery

A crime consisting of physical contact that is intended to harm
someone. Unintentional harmful contact is not battery, no mater how
careless the behavior or how severe the injury. A fist fight is a
common battery; being hit by a wild pitch in a baseball game is not.

administration (of an estate)

The court-supervised distribution of the probate estate of a
deceased person. If there is a will that names an executor, that person
manages the distribution. If not, the court appoints someone, who is
generally known as the administrator. In some states, the person is
called the "personal representative" in either instance.

acquittal

A decision by a judge or jury that a defendant in a criminal case
is not guilty of a crime. An acquittal is not a finding of innocence;
it is simply a conclusion that the prosecution has not proved its case
beyond a reasonable doubt.
