the thicket of " natural laws" to achieve a desired objective.
Their use of " legal" is flavoured as much by this game- playing

and lawyers. Compare { language lawyer}, { legalese}.
[{ Jargon File}] legal: adj. Loosely used to mean ‘ in accordance with all the relevant rules’, esp. in connection with some set of constraints defined by software. “ The older = alternate for = is no longer legal syntax in ANSI C.” “ This parser processes each line of legal input the moment it sees the trailing linefeed.” Hackers often model their work as a sort of game played with the environment in which the objective is to maneuver through the thicket of ‘ natural laws’ to achieve a desired objective. Their use of legal is flavored as much by this game- playing sense as by the more conventional one having to do with courts and lawyers. Compare language lawyer, legalese. LEGAL. That which is according to law. It is used in opposition to equitable, as the legal estate is, in the trustee, the equitable estate in the cestui que trust. Vide Powell on Mortg. Index, h. t. 2. The party who has the legal title, has alone the right to seek a remedy for a wrong to his estate, in a court of law, though he may have no beneficial interest in it. The equitable owner, is he who has not the legal estate, but is entitled to the beneficial interest. 3. The person who holds the legal estate for the benefit of another, is called a trustee; he who has the beneficiary interest and does not hold the legal title, is called the beneficiary, or more technically, the cestui que trust. 4. When the trustee has a claim, he must enforce his right in a court of equity, for he cannot sue any one at law, in his own name; 1 East, 497; 8 T. R. 332; 1 Saund. 158, n. 1; 2 Bing. 20; still less can he in such court sue his own trustee. 1 East, 497. |
