| | Legal technicality - definition of Legal technicality in Encyclopedia |
 | | Some legal technicalities restrict access to courts and legal procedures or limit the discretion of a court in handing down judgment. | | | In almost every case, well-established technical aspects of legal procedure have come into being and have been reinforced in a long tradition of appellate court decisions because of a perceived need to protect the rights of a class of persons who might otherwise suffer injustice at the hands of the legal system. | | | Such cases may be dismissed based on lack of evidence as the illegally obtained evidence would not be allowed to be the basis of the prosecution's case. |

| | EAP Background Reading |
| | Legal interpreting is a substantial academic field in its own right, so only a brief foray into two major issues is possible: access to appropriate interpreting/translation services, including interpreter supply and certification; and the specific nature of legal interpreting and translation. | | | The legal system construes external reality in a unique way and legal practice is a distinct microculture, so at least some of this lexical technicality is necessary to express legal notions and refer to legal processes. | | | Legal technicality is also found in languages other than English and in other legal systems; for instance, Pardo (1996:36) describes legal technicality in Spanish, as does Duarte (1993:66—67) for Catalan. |

| | Legal Fiction Denies Due Process to Immigrants (Print) |
| | Regardless of whether or not the government’s interpretation of the immigration detention statute is legally sustainable, indefinite detentions are a significant expense to U.S. taxpayers. | | | Despite lacking technical “admission” or “entry” to the United States, parolees have legal (if not permanent) status in the United States. | | | But this solution, which some courts have found unlawful, denies fundamental rights on the basis of a legal technicality, is profoundly unjust, and comes at a significant expense to the U.S. taxpayer. |

| | The Body: Medical Marijuana: Legal Considerations |
| | It is analogous to the legal defense of justifiable homicide, whereby the state does not legalize killing in self-defense, but rather allows the use of self-defense as a defense to a charge of homicide. | | | While I-692 "legalizes the medical use of marijuana," many concerns remain about the illegality of the sale and transport of marijuana under federal law, the amount of marijuana considered to be a 60-day supply, and the potential for federal action against physicians. | | | I-692 does not legalize the medical use of marijuana; rather it provides a possible legal defense (an affirmative defense) for people charged with possession of marijuana under Washington state law. |

| | The crippling aspect of the legality myth is the assumption that legality and its correlates of justice, obligation, and responsibility reside only in the law. | | | The opposite of legal technicality, however, is not chaos, but equity. | | | As might be expected, although equity's use as a discretionary corrective is accepted in theory in most legal systems, in practice judges often dismiss it precisely because equity implies that the law is inadequate. |
