Whois & Analysis for infinitelawyer.com

A lawyer is a person who practices law.

The role of a lawyer varies greatly across different legal jurisdictions.

A lawyer can be classified as an advocate, attorney, barrister, canon lawyer, civil law notary, counsel, solicitor, legal executive, or public servant — with each role having different functions and privileges.

Working as a lawyer generally involves the practical application of abstract legal theories and knowledge to solve specific problems.

Some lawyers also work primarily in advancing the interests of the law and legal profession.

In law, a trust is a relationship in which the holder of property (or any other transferable right) gives it to another person or entity who must keep and use it solely for the benefit of another person or group of persons.

In the English common law tradition, the party who entrusts the property is known as the "settlor", the party to whom the property is entrusted is known as the "trustee", the party for whose benefit the property is entrusted is known as the "beneficiary", and the entrusted property itself is known as the "corpus" or "trust property".

A testamentary trust is created by a will and arises after the death of the settlor.

An inter vivos trust is created during the settlor's lifetime by a trust instrument.

A trust may be revocable or irrevocable; an irrevocable trust can be "broken" (revoked) by a judicial proceeding or by consent of the settlor and the beneficiaries.

A tax is a compulsory financial charge or some other type of levy imposed on a taxpayer (an individual or legal entity) by a governmental organization in order to collectively fund government spending, public expenditures, or as a way to regulate and reduce negative externalities.

Tax compliance refers to policy actions and individual behaviour aimed at ensuring that taxpayers are paying the right amount of tax at the right time and securing the correct tax allowances and tax relief.

The first known taxation took place in Ancient Egypt around 3000–2800 BC.

Taxes consist of direct or indirect taxes and may be paid in money or as its labor equivalent.

Case law, also used interchangeably with common law, is a law that is based on precedents, that is the judicial decisions from previous cases, rather than law based on constitutions, statutes, or regulations.

Case law uses the detailed facts of a legal case that have been resolved by courts or similar tribunals.

These past decisions are called "case law", or precedent.

Stare decisis—a Latin phrase meaning "let the decision stand"—is the principle by which judges are bound to such past decisions, drawing on established judicial authority to formulate their positions.

A lawsuit is a proceeding by one or more parties (the plaintiff or claimant) against one or more parties (the defendant) in a civil court of law.

The archaic term "suit in law" is found in only a small number of laws still in effect today.

The term "lawsuit" is used with respect to a civil action brought by a plaintiff (a party who claims to have incurred loss as a result of a defendant's actions) who requests a legal remedy or equitable remedy from a court.

The defendant is required to respond to the plaintiff's complaint or else risk default judgment.

If the plaintiff is successful, judgment is entered in favor of the defendant.

A variety of court orders may be issued in connection with or as part of the judgment to enforce a right, award damages or restitution, or impose a temporary or permanent injunction to prevent an act or compel an act.

A declaratory judgment may be issued to prevent future legal disputes.
