In legal contexts, a conclusion typically refers to the final part of a written legal document or argument, where the main points and arguments presented are summarised, and a final decision or resolution is stated. It serves as a culmination of the preceding discussion, highlighting the key findings, legal principles applied, and the ultimate outcome or judgment reached by the court or decision-maker. The conclusion provides clarity and closure to the legal analysis or proceeding, often reaffirming the legal rights, obligations, or remedies of the parties involved.
n. 1) in general, the end. 2) in a trial, when all evidence has been introduced and final arguments made, so nothing more can be presented, even if a lawyer thinks of something new or forgotten. 3) in a trial or court hearing, a final determination of the facts by the trier of fact (jury or judge) and/or a judge’s decision on the law.
