See under {Bar}, n.          {Case divinity}, casuistry.          {Case lawyer}, one versed in the reports of cases rather than             in the science of the law.          {Case} {stated [or] agreed on} (Law), a statement in writing             of facts agreed on and submitted to the court for a             decision of the legal points arising on them.          {A hard case}, an abandoned or incorrigible person. [Colloq.]                      {In any case}, whatever may be the state of affairs; anyhow.                      {In case}, or {In case that}, if; supposing that; in the             event or contingency; if it should happen that. [bd]In             case we are surprised, keep by me.[b8] --W. Irving.          {In good case}, in good condition, health, or state of body.                      {To put a case}, to suppose a hypothetical or illustrative             case.          Syn: Situation, condition, state; circumstances; plight;                predicament; occurrence; contingency; accident; event;                conjuncture; cause; action; suit.
