Nolo contendere
is a legal term that comes from the
Latin for "I do not wish to contend." It is also referred to as a
plea of

U.S. jurisdictions, it is a plea where the
defendant neither admits nor disputes a
charge, serving as an alternative to a pleading of
guilty or

plea bargain. In many jurisdictions a plea of is not a
right, and carries various restrictions on its use.
