The legal term "without prejudice" is a rule which allows parties to engage in private discussions to settle their disputes. “Without prejudice” discussions whether in letters, emails or conversations are able to be withheld from courts and excluded from evidence when they qualify for protection.
In the formal legal world, a court case that is dismissed with prejudice means that it is dismissed permanently. A case dismissed with prejudice is over and done with, once and for all, and can't be brought back to court. A case dismissed without prejudice means the opposite. It's not dismissed forever.
Prejudice typically involves some sort of discrimination and stereotyping based on negative opinions or beliefs. Discrimination occurs when people allow their prejudice to influence their behavior in a negative way.
