Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Mispleaded

👉 In legal terms, a "mispleaded" defendant is one who does not assert a defense or claim at trial. The term originates from the American Bar Association's Code of Professional Responsibility which defines a mispleaded defendant as one who "does not plead any grounds for relief that he believes should be asserted at trial." This means that the defendant does not make an attempt to contest the charges against him, and his defense is limited to those defenses that are available under the law. Mispleading
