What is No contest?
'''No contest''' is a plea in which the defendant making the plea has chosen not to dispute the [[criminal]] charges against them, particularly in [[United States]] [[court]]s. No contest pleas usually carry results similar to pleading or being found guilty of different classes of crimes. '''No contest''' is called '''Nolo contendere''' in the Latin terminology. Some countries other than the U.S. do not allow people to plead no contest. [[Category:Legal terms]] {{stub}}
