articulated pleading

Read a random definition: American Experience Table of Mortality

A quick definition of articulated pleading:

Articulated pleading is a formal document used in legal proceedings, such as a civil lawsuit, where a party sets forth or responds to allegations, claims, denials, or defenses. It is a system of defining and narrowing the issues in a lawsuit where the parties file formal documents alleging their respective positions. Articulated pleading states each allegation in a separately numbered paragraph. It is important to meet minimum standards of sufficiency or accuracy in form or substance.

A more thorough explanation:

Articulated pleading is a formal document in which a party to a legal proceeding sets forth or responds to allegations, claims, denials, or defenses. It is a system of defining and narrowing the issues in a lawsuit whereby the parties file formal documents alleging their respective positions. Articulated pleading states each allegation in a separately numbered paragraph.

For example, in federal civil procedure, the main pleadings are the plaintiff's complaint and the defendant's answer. An amended pleading replaces an earlier pleading and contains matters omitted from or not known at the time of the earlier pleading. A supplemental pleading either corrects a defect in an earlier pleading or addresses facts arising since the earlier pleading was filed.

These examples illustrate how articulated pleading is a formal way of presenting legal claims and defenses in a lawsuit. Each allegation is clearly stated in a separate paragraph, making it easier for the court to understand the parties' positions and to decide the case based on the merits of the claims and defenses.

The "date changes" at Michigan really don't mean anything. We had to do them in undergrad admissions whenever a Georgia applicant picked the country instead of the state, because we'd have to remove the TOEFL requirement and reassign the application from the international application readers.

Classy, does that mean they may look at your application, and that look doesn't necessarily trigger any date change?

@soapy: I don't know for sure about the law school. For undergrad, once the application is complete, it's assigned to a reader the following Monday. If we had to make any changes, it's because a reader saw something that needed to be changed and the application needed to be re-read after that change.

Ahh, got it. Thank you for the insight!

You're welcome. FWIW, I have no idea what's up with the address changes. We didn't have to do any of that, except for the Georgia state vs country kinds of things.

I've heard it theorized that some schools will change the address from "St." --> "Street" as they prepare to send out admissions packets. That's the rumor, anyways.
