Definition of abstract
Abstract is a shortened version of an official record. In legal terms, it can refer to:
An abstract of title is a summary of all the important actions related to a property's title. This includes any liens, transfers, assignments, and other relevant information. It does not provide any legal advice or opinions on the title's legal effect.
An abstract of record is a summary of all the proceedings in a legal case. It is used by appellate courts to review the history of the trial court actions and determine if the issues presented for review on appeal were properly preserved in the lower court.
For example, if someone is buying a house, they may request an abstract of title to ensure that the seller has a clear title to the property. In a legal case, an abstract of record may be used by an appellate court to review the lower court's actions and determine if any errors were made.

Simple Definition
Abstract: An abstract is a short summary of important information from an official record. In law, there are two common types of abstracts. An "abstract of title" lists all the important actions related to a property's ownership, like liens and transfers, without giving any opinions. An "abstract of record" lists all the actions taken in a court case so that a higher court can review them and decide if the lower court made any mistakes.
If we desire respect for the law, we must first make the law respectable.
