Here is the definition Slander, in the law of torts, oral defamation or use of the spoken word to injure another person's reputation; slander is distinguished from libel, or written defamation. Statements considered slanderous include those that impute the commission of a felony, that impute an individual to be suffering from an offensive disease, or that are injurious to an individual in his or her trade or profession. When the statement itself is not presumed to have injured the plaintiff's reputation, he or she must allege special damage or loss suffered as a result of the statement. The party charged with the slander may hold, as a defense, that the words spoken were in fact true, inasmuch as true statements result in no injury to reputation. In some cases, words that would otherwise be considered subject to laws of slander may be uttered as a privileged communication. Speeches made in the Congress of the United States are examples of such immunity. encarta.msn.com
