If a decision or action is made WITHOUT PREJUDICE TO a right or claim, it is made without having an effect on the right or claim.
Example : The rebels continued hostile attacks without prejudice to their negotiations.

Prejudice is, as the name implies, the process of "pre-judging" something. In general, it implies coming to a judgment on the subject before learning where the preponderance of the evidence actually lies, or formation of a judgement without direct or actual experience. Holding a politically unpopular view is not in itself prejudice, and not all politically popular views are free of prejudice

It usually has to do with legal proceedings. When a lawyer writes without prejudice it means his letter cannot be used against his client in the trial e.g. a letter offering to settle the case.

It means to look at something without previous conception/belief. In other words to be objective and open minded and not have prejudged a situation based on personal biases. It's probably one the most difficult things for people to achieve because it's like having to empty your mind of everything you know or have experienced.

Contempt before investigation. It is a belief formed before investigating.

that's 2 words. anyway.......that means you don't have any bad feelings about someone just by looking at them. you don't have any preconceived notions about them because of the color of their skin or their ethnicity. you don't think they eat fried chicken and watermelon just because they happen to be black. you don't think she's an airhead because she has blonde hair. got it?
