Simple Definition
Contort: A fancy word that means when two types of laws, called contract law and tort law, overlap. It's like when two circles overlap and share some space. Sometimes, people do things that are wrong in this shared space, and we call those things "contorts." It can also mean when someone does something wrong that goes against the rules of the Constitution. When we see the word "contra," it means someone is arguing against something.
