Seemon, you talked about the case being under investigation. What kind of investigation is that? Done by whom? I take it that when you talked about 'investigation', it should mean an official investigation undertaken by the authorities of the Indian government or the United Nations investigative agencies.

It's a "restraining order."  Some courts may also term it an "injunction."

It means there was not any reason for whatever he ruled against, probably a search or a traffic stop. Police officers have to have "probable cause" to stop someone, arrest them, search their car or other items, etc. Also, grand juries, which indict people for felonies, must decide whether or not there is "probable cause" for a trial.

More precisely, it's a motion for judgment non obstante veredicto, meaning "notwithstanding the verdict."  A judgment entered by the order of the court for the plaintiff (or defendant) although there has been a jury verdict for the defendant (or plaintiff).\n\nUnder the federal rules, which are often mirrored in the states, the party making such a motion must have previously entered a motion for directed verdict, usually prior to the presentation of their own case, in order to be entitled to make the JNOV motion.

Literally, a "guardian ad litem" means a guardian pending litigation.  This will be the person in whose custody the kids will be while litigation is going on and until proceedings are finished.  It could be a lawyer or any other person the court chooses to appoint.

When a judge withhold adjudication, it means that he does not enter a final judgement (guilty or not). Assuming you complete whatever requirements the judge set forth when he withheld adjudication, the case will be dismissed without an actual conviction. This allows you to avoid many of the problem associated with conviction, such as losing the right to vote (at least in some states) or have firearms, etc.

It means that judges make law where no law ever existed.  Best example I can think of is "Roe v. Wade".

Judgment is a court order binding on both sides.  Fact dependent whether you can have set aside and a new trial.  The trial is usually final.  Maybe the facts weren't on your side?

Sounds like both. Orders, briefs, evidence and/or decisions. You'd have to come up with more context to be certain.\n\nIf it's an advertisement for a database program like Concordance, it might make some sense...

That trial was ultimately heard before the Supreme Court. Their opinion is at the site below. The ruling goes over the District ruling in detail.\n\nEdit:\nDon't pay for that crap in the site above. It's just a poorly written essay about the cases, not the opinion itself, which is available freely below.

It means the judge is saying to the defendant you are sentened to "x" but that is "suspended" if you don't make any mistakes during a set term of time - usually probation.  If the defandant gets into trouble again the judge can "unsuspend" the sentence and apply it - like jail time or a fine.

"The court does not give a final judgment regarding the case. The defendant is given probation, a program or community service in which they have a specified amount of time to complete. If the defendant complies, the case may be dismissed, depending on the county/state. If they do not dismiss in that particular county/state, then the disposition remains adjudication withheld and the case is closed. However, if the defendant is found in violation, the case disposition may be changed and the defendant can be found in guilt."

Yes.\n\nRemember that piece of paper that said\nPeople of the State of _________ (Plaintiff)\nv.\nYOU (Defendant)\n\n(may have been City of or Village of or whatever)\n\nyou probably pled guilty in agreement that this owuld be the sentence.

In layman's term's, it means "at face value."  I saw if a lot when I had to study the penal code in the police academy.  For example, in a trespassing case, if someone were trespassing in an area that was fenced in with a No Trespassing sign posted, both the fence and the sign would serve as prima facia evidence of the trespass in establishing probable cause for an arrest.  I hope this helps.
