What Does JD Stand For?

JD stands for Judgment For The Defendant

JD, or Judgment For The Defendant, refers to a legal outcome in which a court finds in favor of the defendant in a lawsuit. This decision typically signifies that the plaintiff's claims were not sufficiently substantiated, resulting in the dismissal of the case against the defendant. A JD serves to affirm the defendant's position and may prevent further legal action on the same matter.
