What does Admit mean in American Law?

The definition of Admit in the law of the United States, as defined by the lexicographer Arthur Leff in his legal dictionary is:

To admit a person is to allow or bring about his entry into a place or a status. Thus one can be admitted to bail, to membership in a club, to the bar or, for that matter, into someone’s heart. For formal admissions formal rules are ordinarily prescribed by law. Sometimes, to admit a person into a place thereby also changes his status; one admitted into one’s home is not (at least until ordered to leave) a trespasser, and an alien admitted into the U.S. has a different status from one who slipped across the border.
