Simple Definition
Term: HAND DOWN
Definition: When a judge or court makes a decision about a case, they can "hand down" their opinion. This means they announce what they think should happen in the case. It's like a teacher giving you a grade on your homework. The term "hand down" used to only apply to higher courts sending their opinions to lower courts, but now it can be used for any decision made by a court.
