I wanna know the answer for my question, plz.
Hi there. I've lately got a question and been unable to crack it on my own. So let me fall back on you.
The question is about the English adjective word 'genuine' in the Law terms because I've so far got myself in the scrape(a legal quandary) and been trying to wriggle out of that. However, there is a catch because I've been unable to disambiguate the word after my lawyer urgently requested the justifiable document accompanied with the specified reasons for which I was a genuine and good student throughout my course at school.
Are there any more definitions of the word 'genuine' except for those below, especially in the Law terms?
As far as my dictionary shows me, the definitions are:
1. Actually possessing the alleged or apparent attribute or character: genuine leather.
2. Not spurious or counterfeit; authentic. See Synonyms at authentic.
3.
a. Honestly felt or experienced: genuine devotion.
b. Actual; real: a genuine dilemma.
4. Free from hypocrisy or dishonesty; sincere.
5. Being of pure or original stock: a genuine Hawaiian.
As far as its synonyms are concerned, they are:
accurate, actual, ascertained, authenticated, bona fide, demonstrable, exact, factual, forthright, frank, guileless, honest, inartificial, legitimate, merus, natural, official, original, plain, pure, purebred, real, rightful, simple, sincere, sterling, tested, true, unadulterated, unaffected, unalloyed, uncolored, uncounterfeited, undisguised, undistorted, unfabricated, unfaked, unfeigned, unfeigning, unfictitious, unimitated, unimpeachable, unpretending, unpretentious, unquestionable, unspurious, unsynthetic, unvarnished, valid, veridical, and veritable.
It's the need-to-know definition for me at this very moment, indeed. It's irrevocably because I'll have to submit the deposition to my lawyer after adduction before the Christmas holiday. So plz write me back as soon as you've read this through.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Tom is a genuine student at ABC University.
I would take this to mean simply that he has been officially accepted as a student.
