Definitions:

(1) (prejudice)
bias that prevents objective consideration -- especially an unreasonable belief that is unfair to members of a race, religion, or other group
(2) (meaning too rare to warrant focus)
law: In legal use, prejudice can mean harm or to cause harm. Additionally, it has a very specific meaning when seen in the form without prejudice or with prejudice. Without prejudice means that a lawsuit or proceeding ended without legal conclusions. In a civil case, that means a case could be re-filed in the future as though the proceeding never happened. With prejudice means the lawsuit or proceeding was dismissed and cannot be re-filed by the plaintiff with the same claim.
