| | Transblawg: Malice aforethought/Vorbedachte böse Absicht |
| | American states have statutory definitions of murder nowadays, but these often use the term malice aforethought. | | | The ‘malice aforethought’ which enters into the legal definition of murder, does not (as now interpreted) admit of any summary definition. | | | The usual present possibilities of malice aforethought, roughly speaking (I’m not a legal scholar) are: |

| | The troubling consequence of this is that the terms "malice" and "malice aforethought," which bedeviled legal scholars for generations, now figure prominently in instructions designed to help jurors apply the law of Mississippi. | | | Older cases held that all murder requires malice, notwithstanding the absence of that term from the statute, and that the failure to instruct on malice was reversible error. | | | While Justice Banks was probably right that the difficulty of inferring malice was a key motive for separately defining murder by reference to acts eminently dangerous to others, he did not persuade the court that the two forms of murder must be considered mutually exclusive. |

| | People v Mendoza |
| | The result was a case-by-case Âsemantic erosion of the term Âaforethought, until Âmalice aforethought meant nothing more than the intent to kill had to exist at the time the act was committed. | | | Involuntary manslaughter is the unintentional killing of another, without malice, during the commission of an unlawful act not amounting to a felony and not naturally tending to cause great bodily harm; or during the commission of some lawful act, negligently performed; or in the negligent omission to perform a legal duty. | | | Because there was a need to distinguish the most serious homicide from the rest, and because Âaforethought no longer had legal significance, malice evolved from being merely an intent to kill to also evidencing the absence of mitigating circumstances. |

| | Public figures, such as government officials, celebrities, well-known individuals, and people involved in specific public controversies, are required to prove actual malice, a legal term which means the defendant knew his statement was false or recklessly disregarded the truth or falsity of his statement. | | | In order for the person about whom a statement is made to recover for libel, the false statement must be defamatory, meaning that it actually harms the reputation of the other person, as opposed to being merely insulting or offensive. | | | The statement(s) alleged to be defamatory must have been published to at least one other person (other than the subject of the statement) and must be "of and concerning" the plaintiff. |

| | Legal Watch: Libel case based on reports of 'Loss of Consortium' claim dismissed (June 4, 2004) |
| | The legal term "loss of consortium" means that one person has lost the aid, comfort or companionship of the other. | | | The Tuckers' contention that their lawyer told "a few" newspapers -- without specifying which ones -- that the "loss of consortium" claim against Shakur did not involve a claim for damage to their sex life was too vague to show actual malice on the part of these specific defendants, the court held. | | | In fact, the court noted, the Tuckers' lawyer testified in a similar case against Time and Newsweek that he was not sure whether he gave that information to a Newsweek reporter. |

| | With the possible exception of the legal term "malice," it is the most misleading expression in English law, for the reason which the judge gives for his decision is never the binding part of the precedent. | | | The express ratio decidendi is prima facie the rule of the case, since it is the ground on which the court chose to rest its decision. | | | I am going to treat as the rule of the case the ratio decidendi, the rule the court tells you is the rule of the case, the ground, as the phrase goes, upon which the court itself has rested its decision. |

| | Sexism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Sexism against women is often called chauvinism, though chauvinism is actually a wider term for any extreme and unreasoning partisanship on behalf of a group to which one belongs, especially when the partisanship includes malice and hatred towards a rival group. | | | Certain forms of sexual discrimination are illegal in many countries but nearly all countries have laws that give special rights, privileges, or responsibilities to one sex. | | | It has been suggested that some people who hold that all three beliefs are sexist in fact support laws which provide legal discrimination based on sex. |
