Law Activities: \\

   (2) determine whether  a law has been broken   (judge) \\
  (3) collect information on possible violations (police) \
  (4) prosecute   violations (prosecutor, plaintiff) \\
 (5)  punish  (prisons)

IMMINENCE AND NECESSITY:    ``A person is justified in the use of force against another when he reasonably believes that such force is necessary to defend himself  against such other's imminent use of unlawful force.''

Does ``imminent'' mean ``immediate'' or  does it mean ``highly likely''?
