If you plead nolo contendere this neither admits or denies the charges and you would have no intent on defending yourself. Nolo contendere is treated as a plea of guilty. In the courts of the U.S. you may only plead this with the okay of the court. Advantage... this plea can not be used in a later proceeding against you. A guilty plea may be used. Disadvantage... If the case is not settled by a plea of guilty or nolo contendere, you will start to prepare for a trial.
Nolo contendere means "I will not contest it", it is a plea option. A person that pleas nolo contendere is stating that not gulity or just not willing to answer. Even though someone is has this right they can still be convicted and sentenced.

It means "I do not wish to contest" or "no contest" for short.

No.
The root word for contentious is "content," which comes from the Latin word "contendere," meaning to strive or compete.
Pleading No Contest, nolo contendere in legal parlance, gets things over with. It also means the defendant is not admitting to being guilty. It avoids the cost and time associated with a trail. Typically the judge will be more lenient on the sentencing. It also cannot be used as ipso facto evidence in any civil trial that might arise from the incident.
In a way. Nolo contender or no contest essentially means that you are not going to fight it, but you're not going to admit it. You accept the punishment, so it is like a conviction.
