Nolo

Nolo is a term derived from Latin meaning "I do not wish." In legal contexts, it refers to a "nolo contendere" plea, where a defendant neither admits nor disputes a charge, effectively accepting the consequences without admitting guilt. This plea can help avoid the implications of a guilty plea while allowing for the case to proceed. It's often used to facilitate plea deals in criminal cases. In essence, it’s a way for defendants to resolve charges without directly admitting their culpability.
