New York Traffic Ticket Lawyer Alan R. LeCours
Citiation defined by Law.com
n. 1) a notice to appear in court due to the probable
commission of a minor crime such as a traffic violation, drinking
liquor in a park where prohibited, letting a dog loose without a
leash, and in some states for possession of a small amount of marijuana.
Failure to appear can result in a warrant for the citee's arrest.
2) a notice to appear in court in a civil matter in which the presence
of a party appears necessary, usually required by statute, such
as a person whose relatives wish to place him/her under a conservatorship
(take over and manage his/her affairs). 3) the act of referring
to (citing) a statute, precedent-setting case or legal textbook,
in a brief (written legal court statement) or argument in court,
called "citation of authority." 4) the section of the
statute or the name of the case as well as the volume number, the
report series and the page number of a case referred to in a brief,
points and authorities, or other legal argument. Example: United
States vs. Wong Kim Ark, (1898) 169 U.S. 649, which is the name
of the case, the year when decided, with the decision found at volume
169 of the United States [Supreme Court] Reporter at page 649. A
citation also refers to the case itself, as in "counsel's citation
of the Wong case is not in point."
