Legal Definitions - V.

Definition: V is an abbreviation that can have several meanings:

1. VERSUS: used to show two opposing sides, for example, in a court case, "Smith v. Johnson."
2. Volume: used to indicate the number or quantity of something, for example, "The encyclopedia has 20 volumes."
3. Verb: used to indicate a word that expresses an action or state of being, for example, "run" or "is."
4. Victoria: used to refer to Queen Victoria, who ruled England from 1837 to 1901.
5. Vide: a Latin term meaning "see," used in phrases such as "q.v." (quod vide) which means "which see."
6. Voce: a Latin term meaning "voice."

For example, if you see a legal case titled "Smith v. Johnson," the "v" stands for "versus" and indicates that the two parties are opposing each other in court. Another example is when you see a book series advertised as having "10 volumes," the "v" stands for "volume" and indicates the number of books in the series.
