RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------
Civil
1) It is used in contradistinction to barbarous or savage, to indicate a state of society reduced to order and regular government; thus we speak of civil life, civil society, civil government, and civil liberty. 2) It is sometimes used in contradistinction to criminal, to indicate the private rights and remedies of men, as members of the community, in contrast to those which are public and relate to the government; thus we speak of civil process and criminal process, civil jurisdiction and criminal jurisdiction.
Law
A rule or body of rules of conduct inherent in human nature and essential to or binding upon human society. The learned profession that is mastered by graduate study in a law school and that is responsible for the judicial system.
Name
One or more words used to distinguish a particular individual, as Socrates, Benjamin Franklin.
Testator
One who has made a testament or will.
Property
Property is commonly thought of as a thing which belongs to someone and over which a person has total control. But, legally, it is more properly defined as a collection of legal rights over a thing. These rights are usually total and fully enforceable by the state or the owner against others. It has been said that "property and law were born and die together. Before laws were made there was no property. Take away laws and property ceases." before laws were written and enforced, property had no relevance. Possession was all that mattered. There are many classifications of property, the most common being between real property or immoveable property (real estate such as land or buildings) and "chattel", or "moveable" (things which are not attached to the land such as a bicycle, a car or a hammer) and between public (property belonging to everybody or to the state) and private property.
Deprive
Referring to property taken under the power of eminent domain, means the same as "take". While the Fourteenth Amendment ordains that no state shall "deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law", no definition of the word "deprive" is found in the Constitution.
Heir
One born in lawful matrimony, who succeeds by descent, and right of blood, to lands, tenements or hereditaments, being an estate of inheritance. It is an established rule of law, that God alone can make an heir. According to many authorities, heir may be nomen collectivuum, as well in a deed as in a will, and operate in both in the same mannar, as heirs in the plural number.
Requisition
The act of demanding a thing to be done by virtue of some right.

Lex fori theory of conflicts of law
Refuting the vested rightsdoctrine espoused by Beale, Walter W. Cook, in his lex fori theory of conflicts of law, argued against the notion that any right, including a foreign right, can be vested. Instead, Cook contended that courts do not "enforce" rights created under foreign law, but rather enforce domestic rights, which they themselves choose to create and enforce. Implicit in Cook's theory is a bias in favour of the law of the forum, or a "homeward trend," demonstrating a preference for the application by American judges of local law.
