My favorite part of the order contempt:

“When some persons consider themselves immune to the application of court orders, and defy those orders in the presence of others who abide by them, the very authority of the Court is undermined”

…gee, thanks, Curt, i like you, too!…~e~…(*grin*)…PS: I think I’ll go with that “ss”…assuming anything else is a meaningless, minor stylistic variation….

I looked up some deeds and it appears that the convention is , ss.

Re being ‘8′, I think we all knew it was you. You have a certain style that nobody can imitate.

OK?. No. You’re still evading the real question, Curt. Yes, you’ve proved that you’ve got some slick computer skills. Way beyond my own. But you’ve yet to even begin to answer the question of “where/when/how/why” that “ss” apperas. Also, I’ve only ever seen it in upper-case, w/periods, like this: ” S.S.” You’ve now said that it can also appear either lower or upper case, with or without periods. Given the great historical & ‘net searches that you’ve done so far, can’t you find out the answers to the above questions?…(Oh, & I don’t know why, maybe my screw-up, but some of my posts here today came onscreen as being from ” 8 “. I don’t know why. Anyway….

I thought it was obvious. The purpose is to say where something took place, be it a court order or a notary acknowledging a signature on a deed. The format is state followed by county. I don’t know why it isn’t city or town followed by state. That’s just the way it is. So if you see
State of New Hampshire
Cheshire, ss

It means that something was done in Cheshire County in the State of NH.

I don’t know why they don’t just say “Cheshire County” or come up with some abbreviation like “Cheshire Cty.”

Sometimes you will see a document where they dispense with “ss” and just write “County of Cheshire”.

I used to think that “ss” was literally an abbreviation for “county”. But about a year ago I signed a deed for a conservation easement that had “County of Rockingham, ss”. I had received a draft of the deed before signing, and I objected to this, saying that it was silly and redundant, meaning “County of Rockingham County.” The lawyer said it wasn’t, and that caused me to look up “ss” to find that it means “namely” or “specifically.”

OK?

…that does *NOT* answer the question, Curt. Sure, “answer.com” defines the *word*, but doesn’t follow with how or why it’s on *Cheshire County*, or other State of NH legal documents….YOU’RE “o 4 1″, so far, Curt. Please try again…

same question, Curt. what’s your source for “scilicet”???…

I think Mr. Goldberg was writing more than a little tongue in cheek.

“ss” is an abbreviation for scilicet, which means “namely” or “specifically”. It is commonly used after the name of the county in court documents and conveyances. You will see, “State of New Hampshire”, followed by “Cheshire, ss” which means “Cheshire specifically.”

YO! MR. “FRINGE GOLDBERG”: I’m sure we’ve all heard that “S.S.”= “secret session” crap. Got any citations or references? Any evidence, or proof? If you do, please post it here. Otherwise, the simple truth shall stand. “S.S.” means “State Surety”, which simply means that jumanjiville/kangaroo court gets it’s statutory authority from the State of NH(nude hampsters)….c’mon, FRINGE, whacha’ got???….
