backdate

Read a random definition: defective

A quick definition of backdate:

Backdate: To put an earlier date on something than the actual date. This is sometimes done to make something look like it happened earlier than it actually did. It is not allowed in some cases, but in others, it is okay. For example, if you forget to sign a check on the day you wrote it, you can backdate it to the correct date without any problems.

Back door to Berne: A way that people used to protect their creative work before the United States joined the Berne Convention. They would publish their work in both the United States and a Berne Convention country at the same time to get protection under the convention.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: To put a date earlier than the actual date on something, such as a document or instrument. This does not affect the negotiability of the instrument under UCC § 3-113(a). It can also refer to making something retroactively valid.

  • John forgot to sign a contract on the day it was supposed to be signed, so he backdated it to make it look like it was signed on time.
  • The company wanted to make a donation to a charity, but they missed the deadline. They decided to backdate the check to make it look like it was sent before the deadline.

These examples illustrate how backdating can be used to make something appear as if it happened earlier than it actually did. This can be done for various reasons, such as to meet a deadline or to make a document appear more legitimate. However, it is important to note that backdating can be illegal in certain situations, such as when it is used to deceive or defraud someone.

im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
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
