WHAT DOES MALPRACTICE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

malpractice

Malpractice

In the law of torts, malpractice is an "instance of negligence or incompetence on the part of a professional". Types include medical malpractice and legal malpractice. Efforts to expand the concept of malpractice to other so-called "professional" fields like education have utterly failed. The main rationale for rejecting "educational malpractice" is that it is impossible to develop a workable standard of care for educators; most persons do not accomplish their educational objectives for external reasons beyond the educator's control; and allowing such a cause of action would enable every person who does not become rich, famous, and/or incredibly successful to sue their teachers.

Definition of malpractice in the English dictionary

The definition of malpractice in the dictionary is immoral, illegal, or unethical professional conduct or neglect of professional duty. Other definition of malpractice is any instance of improper professional conduct.
