Word of the Day: Cy Pres Doctrine.

Nicole Black, Esq. of Sui Generis, a New York law blog, has a great approach to blogging. She writes about legal matters as they occur in New York and has fun educational features to engage her readers.

One of her educational features that caught my eye was her "Define that Term" posts.

Last week she identified a legal term that related to Wills and Trusts.  Her term was Cy pres doctrine.

Can you identify what it means?

And then a few days later, she explained what it meant. Of course, no dictionaries or googling were allowed.

Any legal terms out there relating to Wills and Trusts that you want to learn more about? Post a comment.
