| | Will (law) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | After the testator has died, a probate proceeding may be initiated in court to determine the validity of the will, i.e., whether it satisfied the legal requirements, and to appoint an executor. | | | Under laws of certain states of the United States of America, a will cannot be used to disinherit a surviving spouse, who is entitled to at least a portion of the testator's estate. | | | In the common law, a will or testament is a document by which a person (the testator) regulates the rights of others over his property or family after death. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Law |
| | A classification of law, as limited to law administered in the courts, and familiar to Roman jurisprudence, is that of law in the strict sense and equity (jus strictum et jus aequum et bonum). | | | Human laws, however, must be subordinate to the Divine law, or at least, must not contradict it, for human authority is only a participation in the supreme Divine power of government, and it is impossible that God could give human beings the right to issue laws that are unreasonable and in contravention of His will. | | | Law is a bond imposed upon the subjects by which their will is bound or in some way brought under compulsion in regard to the performance or the omission of definite actions. |

| | Will (law): legal history - Art History Online Reference and Guide |
| | The ecclesiastical courts had no jurisdiction over wills of land, and the common law courts were careful to keep the ecclesiastical courts within their limits by means of prohibition. | | | Fraudulent concealment of a will material to the title by a vendor or mortgagor of land or chattels is, by the Law of Property Amendment Act 1859, a misdemeanour punishable by fine or imprisonment or both. | | | The testamentary jurisdiction of the archdeacon's court is alluded to by Chaucer in the "Friar's Tale," but it was afterwards completely superseded by the bishop's court. |

| | History of At-Will Employment Law in the USA |
| | A long-standing principle of contract law states that courts will not enforce [parts of] contracts that are contrary to public policy. | | | Once courts determine that there is an adhesion contract, the courts generally scrutinize the terms of the contract, instead of accepting the contract as written. | | | However, from the beginning of at-will employment in the 1890s to the recognition of public-policy exceptions to at-will employment in the 1980s — an interval of approximately ninety years — the courts seem to have regarded the doctrine of at-will employment as somehow completely overriding basic rules of contract law. |
