Re: Slander/Defamation

Defamation is the issuance of a false statement about another person, which causes that person to suffer harm.

Now ... There are two common methods to cause defamation:  Libel and Slander

Libel is false statements that are put down on paper: such as newspaper or magazine.
Slander is when those false statements are made verbally.  Another component to slander is that the comments are made to a person other than the subject.  Example:  Mary is telling Tom false information about Richard which causes Richard damage.
