Legal Person

/ˈliːɡəl ˈpɜːsən/noun
ELI5 mode

A legal person is any entity, such as a human being or a corporation, that the law recognizes as having rights, duties, and the capacity to sue or be sued. This concept extends beyond individuals to include artificial entities like companies, allowing them to operate in society much like natural persons, and it's a cornerstone of modern corporate and environmental law.
