Meaning of § - §§§§

To give you a hint on how “dangerous” or difficult a legal matter might be, I have added a rating. To show the difficulty / dangerousness of a legal matter, we are using 1 to 4 “§” at the end of an answer. The following table will show what is meant with the “§s”. This rating is purely the author's own opinion based on my professional experience. Other persons will surely have differing opinions.

§	very easy	You really should be able to manage this legal problem on your own. You need to hire an attorney only if this will cost you too much time and/or money. OR: The legal scenario is very clear and easy to understand.
§§	fairly easy	You have a good chance to manage this legal problem by yourself. Yet, if you have tried without success, hire an attorney. OR: The legal scenario is fairly clear and easy to understand.
§§§	complicated	It would be best to get legal advice, however you might want to try to “threaten” with an attorney first. OR: The legal scenario is not really clear or somewhat tricky.
§§§§	very complicated	It is not recommended to solve this issue without professional legal advice. You really should hire an attorney. This remains true even if the legality is very clear. OR: The legal scenario is very tricky or complicated.

And / Or

In everyday English, there might not be a big difference between an "and" as well as an "or". In Legalese, this is a major and relevant difference!

and	All details of this list are required – together and not as alternatives!
or	This is a list of alternatives. You can meet at least one or more. That will be fine. OR: The legal scenario is very clear and easy to understand.
