adj. shorthand acronym of Latin for non obstante veredicto (nahn ahb-stan-tuh very-dick-toe)
meaning "notwithstanding the verdict," referring to a decision of a judge to set
aside (reverse) a jury's decision in favor of one party in a lawsuit or a guilty
verdict when the judge is convinced the judgment is not reasonably supported by
the facts and/or the law. The result is called a "judgment N. O. V. " Granting a
motion for such a ruling means the court realizes it should have directed the jury
to reach an opposite verdict in the first place.
See also judgment notwithstanding the verdict verdict
