scrivener's error

Read a random definition: design defect

A quick definition of scrivener's error:

Scrivener's error is a mistake made by someone who is writing or copying something down, like a typo or a misspelling. It is a type of clerical error, which means it is not a mistake made by a judge or based on legal reasoning. Scrivener's errors can be corrected at any time, even after a judgment has been made.

A more thorough explanation:

Scrivener's error is a type of clerical error that occurs when a minor mistake or inadvertence is made in writing or copying something on the record. It is not a mistake resulting from judicial reasoning or determination.

For example, if a court document accidentally misspells a name or incorrectly transcribes a number, it would be considered a scrivener's error. These errors can be corrected at any time, even after a judgment has been entered.

Another example of a scrivener's error is when a party buys a horse believing it to be the one that they had already examined and ridden, when in fact it is a different horse. This mistake involving the identity of a particular object is called an error in corpore.

Overall, scrivener's errors are minor mistakes that can be corrected without affecting the substantive rights or outcome of a case.

The trick is to know when to be involved and when not to be involved and when to use cynicism as a weapon and when not to.

Sure, sounds good!
real talk how much do we think law schools care abt piercings
obv will have to take them out when i actually have a real job
but for now i don't imagine they would gaf unless it's like OCI or networking events esp cause they're all liberal or whatever
depends if it's berk you prob get +10 points but if it's notre dame i'd take them out
if you think you still look professional with them in then go for it
I WAS GONNA SAY LMAO if i'm at berk i cannot imagine they care
i think they're fine, like even w a nose stud im in corporate now and my colleagues have one, but i do have a lip one which for sure will have to go once im a real life grown up lmao
hahaha yeah that sounds reasonable
the culture is changing for the better though hopefully but at the end of the day i would rather be employed than not lol so whatever

bunny, memes preserve history. Boomers wrote books, GenZ wrote sitcoms, and alas, Zoomers write memes.

We self-conscious Americans' oversensitivity to real humans fixes us before the television and its ball-check valve in an attitude of rapt, relaxed reception. We watch various actors play various characters, etc. For 360 minutes per diem, we receive unconscious reinforcement of the deep thesis that the most significant feature of truly alive persons is watchableness, and that genuine human worth is not just identical with but rooted in the phenomenon of watching. And that the single biggest part of real watchableness is seeming to be unaware that there's any watching going on. Acting natural. The persons we young fiction writers and assorted shut-ins most study, feel for, feel through are, by virtue of a genius for feigned unself-consciousness, fit to stand gazes. And we, trying desperately to be nonchalant, perspire creepily, on the subway.
