Talk:Terminology

NoGlossary Tag

Added by Drew on Dec 24/12: There will inevitably be instances where a term that is in the glossary is used in the text in a different context than the defined term - for example, "order" being used as "in order to" rather than "court order". There is an incredibly simple way to handle those situations. You wrap this tag around the term:

your defined term appears here

You can also exclude an entire page from having glossary definitions appear by including anywhere in that page:

Definitions that Need Attention

These are definitions that need some attention to account for potential conflicts with how the term plays out in other areas of law:

• advance - maybe this one isn't really needed? (added by Drew on Dec 24/12)
• arrears - with this one, what about taking the approach that JP takes with the terms "jurisdiction" or "precedent", where he offers several alternate definitions. I actually think this is really helpful for the user, as it provides them with context that the term they are looking at can have different legal meanings depending on the context.

• negotiate - this one could be solved by simply taking out the opening clause "In family law", which I don't think is really necessary is it?(added by Drew on Dec 24/12)
• pleadings - would JP be ok for this one to be slightly more generic? (added by Drew on Dec 24/12)
