What does Aforesaid mean in American Law?
The definition of Aforesaid in the law of the United States, as defined by the lexicographer Arthur Leff in his legal dictionary is:
A reference in legalese to something mentioned earlier in the same writing, e.g., “The aforesaid vendor,” “the aforesaid 1979 Chevrolet Malibu,” “the aforesaid 28,437 tons of wheat.” In almost every instance the use of “aforesaid” is wholly unnecessary, as there is absolutely no chance that the reader would without it be confused as to which Vendor, Malibu, or 28,437 tons of wheat was referred to. The only advantage of “aforesaid” (and words like it, e.g., herein, “hereinbefore”) is that, like a
wax seal, it does tend to make the reader aware of the fact that something of legal consequence is most likely going on. But one cannot say much else in favor of it.
