Conclusion in United States

Conclusion Definition

(Lat. con claudere, to shut together). The close; the end. , In Pleading. In declarations, that part which follows the statement of the cause of action. In personal or mixed actions, where the object is to recover damages, the conclusion is, properly, to the damage of the plaintiff, etc. Comyn, Dig. “Pleader,” c. 84; 10 Coke, 1156. The form was anciently, in the king’s bench, “To the damage of the said A. B., and thereupon he brings suit;” in the exchequer, “To the damage,” etc., “whereby he is the less able to satisfy our said lord the king the debts which he owes his said majesty at his exchequer, and therefore he brings his suit.” 1 Chit. PI. 356-358. In pleas, the conclusion is either to the country, which must be the case when an issue is tendered, that is, whenever the plaintiff’s material statements are contradicted, or by verification, which must be the case when new matter is introduced. Every plea in bar, it is said, must have its proper conclusion. All the formal parts of pleadings have been much modified by statute in the various states and in England within the last few years. In Practice. Making the last argument or address to the court or jury. The party on whom the onus probandi is cast, in general, has the conclusion. In Remedies. An estoppel; a bar; the act of a man by which he has confessed a matter or thing which he can no longer deny. For example, the sheriff is concluded by his return to a writ, and therefore, if upon a capias he return cepi corpus, he cannot afterwards show that he did not arrest the defendant, but is concluded by his return. See Plowd. 276b; 3 Thomas, Co. Litt. 600.

Conclusion in Environmental Law

Over the last three decades, environmental issues have risen to the top of our consciousness. Clean water and air, freedom from negative long-term effects of chemicals we use, and responsible approaches to creating and disposing of waste have become as important to us as our personally owned resources. Whether the reasons for our concern are selfish or altruistic, we are beginning to understand that human activity has had a significant impact on the world.

From one perspective, we humans have been an extraordinarily successful species. We have improved our quality of life and remained ever on the move, ever growing in number. We have used our resources as if we were buying on credit, spending freely with no thought to how we would pay the bill.

Many other species have come and gone on the earth over its long history, and it is doubtful that any of them knew why. Humans alone are capable of seeing the direction we are heading as a species. Within the last few decades, we have attempted, through environmental legislation, to correct our course. But it is difficult to convince anyone of the need to change practices that have short-term benefit until the price of ignoring their effects is fully revealed. Thus, most of our environmental statutes are reactive; they grow directly out of environmental disasters we have created.

Fortunately we have a wonderful planet that has given us life and forgiven us much. We can see our footsteps and imagine the future. The spirit of international cooperation in addressing common environmental issues will grow because it must. If we continue to address our environmental problems responsibly, we will leave a better world to our children, and they, to theirs.
