A quick definition of answer in subsidium:

Answer in subsidium: In the past, when people went to court to ask for fairness, they had to use special words and ways of talking. One of these special words was "answer in subsidium." It meant that the person who was being accused of something was saying that even if the accusation was true, there was still a good reason why they shouldn't be punished. It was like saying, "Yes, I did it, but please don't punish me because of this other thing."

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: In equity pleading, an answer supporting a plea.

Explanation: In legal terms, an answer in subsidium refers to a type of response given in equity pleading. It is an answer that supports a plea, which means it is a statement made by the defendant in response to the plaintiff's allegations. This type of answer is used in cases where the defendant wants to provide additional information or evidence to support their plea.

Example: For instance, if a plaintiff sues a defendant for breach of contract, the defendant may file an answer in subsidium to support their plea that they did not breach the contract. The answer in subsidium may include evidence such as emails, contracts, or other documents that prove the defendant's innocence.

Another example: In a divorce case, the plaintiff may allege that the defendant was unfaithful during the marriage. The defendant may file an answer in subsidium to support their plea that they were not unfaithful. The answer in subsidium may include evidence such as witness statements, phone records, or other documents that prove the defendant's innocence.

Overall, an answer in subsidium is a legal tool used by defendants to support their plea and provide additional evidence to prove their innocence.

Irvine is being snobby and wont start any review until end of Nov.
Yeah, it’s tough. I’m distracting myself by playing good video games after work :)
im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website

Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years
