Damage to the body, reputation, or rights—basically, someone did you dirty and now you have legal grounds to complain about it. In law, injury covers everything from a broken leg to a tarnished name to property destruction.
Persons confined to institutional facilities like prisons or hospitals—a neutral term that encompasses everyone from convicted felons to patients recovering from surgery, though context matters greatly.
A person who snitches to authorities, or more charitably, one who shares information. The human equivalent of a security camera, but messier and more expensive.
Equitable remedy where a court orders someone to do or refrain from doing something, rather than awarding money. The court's 'cut it out or else' without a dollar amount attached.
To provide evidence that makes someone look guilty—either through your own words, actions, or involvement. A favorite term in legal and political contexts when someone accidentally (or deliberately) makes themselves appear complicit.
Something that packs a punch—either physically damaging your body or verbally nuking your reputation. The legal system's way of saying 'ouch, that hurt in multiple ways.'
