Since different things are legal/illegal in different areas this collection should only be used in a microtheory that specifies the area where the instances of this collection are legal. LegalAction legaler legalest legal Execution-Judicial execution A specialization of (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/KillingFn" class="cyc_term">KillingFn</a> <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/HomoSapiens" class="cyc_term">HomoSapiens</a>) and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/Punishing" class="cyc_term">Punishing</a>.

Thus, it excludes Mafia 'hits' and euthanasia, even if the euthanasia is sanctioned by some part of the judicial system.

The predicate <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/prettyString" class="cyc_term">prettyString</a> is used by the code which generates CycL to English paraphrases, but its applicability is not restricted to this use.
