"Scienter" is a legal term that refers to a person's knowledge of the wrongfulness or illegality of their actions. In the context of law, particularly in securities and fraud cases, scienter implies that a defendant acted with intent or a degree of knowledge that demonstrates a disregard for the truth. It is often associated with proving fraud, as plaintiffs must typically show that the defendant had an intent to deceive or defraud.
