Từ vựng:

colour of law

Giải nghĩa:

/ˈkʌlər ʌv lɔː/ – Phrase


Definition: có vẻ như có quyền hợp pháp.

A more thorough explanation: “Color of law” refers to the appearance or semblance of legal right or authority, when in fact the individual or entity exercising such authority does not have the legal right to do so. This term is often used in the context of law enforcement or government officials acting beyond their lawful authority.

Example: The police officer’s actions appeared to be lawful, but in reality, they were acting under the color of law to violate the suspect’s rights.
