Understanding Person In Law

Summary

The term person in legal contexts can include both natural individuals and corporate entities. In California, the Penal Code Section 7 defines person to encompass corporations. Federally, Title 1 of the U.S. Code, Section 1, similarly includes corporations, companies, and other entities. Notable cases like People v. Pacific Landmark, LLC and Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission have further clarified these definitions. For a deeper understanding, reviewing specific case law is recommended.
