Illiterate Law and Legal Definition
Illiterate is defined as "the inability to read or write. A person is considered to be illiterate if the person cannot read or write a simple message such as instructions or inventory lists even though the person can sign his or her name. Generally, an illiterate person would have little or no formal schooling." Shoulars v. Astrue, 2009 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 106085 (E.D.N.C. Nov. 13, 2009)
