assigned error

Read a random definition: adult

A quick definition of assigned error:

Assigned error is when someone believes that something is true or false, but it doesn't match reality. This can happen in a court case when someone thinks a contract is for one thing, but it's actually for something else. There are different types of assigned errors, like clerical errors which are small mistakes in writing or copying something down. Harmless errors don't affect the outcome of a case, but fatal errors can be reversed. Sometimes, a party can't complain about an error because they encouraged it to happen. A manifest constitutional error is a mistake that affects someone's rights and can be reviewed by a higher court.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Assigned error is an alleged mistake that occurred in a lower court and is pointed out in an appellate brief as grounds for reversal.

For example, if a party believes that the lower court made an error in interpreting the law or in applying the facts of the case, they can point out this assigned error in their appeal. This error must have had a significant impact on the outcome of the case for the appellate court to consider reversing the decision.

Another example of assigned error is when a party believes that the lower court made a mistake in admitting or excluding evidence that affected the outcome of the case. They can point out this error in their appeal and ask the appellate court to reverse the decision.

Overall, assigned error is a way for parties to challenge the decisions made by lower courts and seek a different outcome in their case.

@baddestbunny: I did not see that comment. Sorry about that. I listen to war and peace whenever I want to fall asleep. I used to listen to more audiobooks for school. I really don't anymore but most of my political theory was learned via audiobooks. Like the basics. Schmitt, Locke, Mills, Thoreau, Aristotle, Plato, etc.

Quentin Tarantino is interested in watching somebody’s ear getting cut off; David Lynch is interested in the ear.
18:03
Quentin Tarantino can't resist putting a gay scene with a black guy participating in the gay act in his movies.
18:05
David Lynch is just gay.
18:18
Lynch is more in touch with his unconscious/dream state than the average person
18:42
Probably. I just dont know. All I know is he did a good job with Dune.
18:45
You should watch Blue Velvet

How’s your LSAT studying been going?
18:49
It is good. I have about two more weeks and I broke the 90 level on LSAT Demon which is good last night. My goal is 95 so I can probably get it before I test. It is scaled our of 100. This is for LR. My RC is below that but I know the more I get better at MBT questions the better my RC becomes.
18:50
I watched the trailer for that movie. The run time is 2 hours. May watch it on 2x the speed. Just watched se7en and thats like as graphic as I get so I kinda need a break from weird bodyhorror stuff. The sloth guy in that movie scared me.
18:51
I do like psychological horror though.
18:53
Oh jesus don’t watch the movie at all if you’re gonna watch it on 2x speed
18:54
I have never used lsat demon; how do their levels relate to actual lsat scoring?
18:56
kinda go in 20 point intervals. 20 points if you have mastered lvl 1 difficulty questions, 100 points if you have mastered lvl 5.
18:56
Getting 100 points is incredibly difficult though. anything baout 95 is pushing the 175-180 range. 90-95 is like 170-174 or so. etc.
18:56
yeah but if you’re getting a 95 on all sections what LSAT score is that? how is that calculated?
18:56
oh okay
18:57
so 100 would be a 180?
18:57
Yeah, 100 is like you would get a 180 and there's nothing more to teach you. I have only seen someone with a 100 like 2/3 times.
18:57
are you taking practice tests that are being scored though?
18:57
or just drills
18:57
Yep, they get factored into it.
18:58
I do drilling essentially every day. A timed section every 3, and a test every 2 weeks.
