Legal to English Dictionary: Hereinabove

On the weekends, it only seems appropriate to feature some of the more interesting of the legal words. I can assure you there are many. These are words that are no longer in use in the English language (or, in some cases, never were), or words that are only used in contracts. Most of these words are even being phased out of use in contracts.

This way, we can have little legal fun on the weekends. These words are for fun. Now, you will know what they mean if someone uses it in conversation.

Legal

A word so archaic (or made up) the Legal Dictionary does not define it. Presumably, the opposite of “Hereunder“.

English

Lawyers are known to invent words almost as often as William Shakespeare. Sometimes, these words are combinations of other words. This is one example. Used in a contract to incorporate certain terms that came earlier in the contract. “Hereinabove” is a word that should never be used. Even in archaic legal parlance, this is out there. At a minimum, this should be a hyphenated word (“herein-above”) that gives a more specific direction than simply using “herein“.

However you define it, there are much better ways to get your point across.

Helping You Sleep at Night Knowing Your Business is Protected. Legally.

Even if you have been in business for years and everything has been fine. It can all change. Fast. And you could lose it all. If you don’t know how to protect yourself.

After working with entrepreneurs for years, I realized that many entrepreneurs have the same legal questions. And the same problems. Many entrepreneurs, though they understand that legal is an important part of protecting your business, just put it off. You always think you can do it later. Until there isn’t a later.
