Legal abuse refers to the misuse of the legal system to intimidate, harass, or control individuals. This can occur when someone uses legal actions, such as lawsuits or restraining orders, not to seek justice but to exert power over another person. It often involves excessive or frivolous legal claims that burden the victim emotionally and financially. Another form of legal abuse can involve professionals, such as lawyers or judges, who exploit their positions for personal gain. This can lead to unfair treatment in legal proceedings, undermining the integrity of the legal system and causing harm to those seeking justice.
