bill of exceptions

Read a random definition: affranchise

A quick definition of bill of exceptions:

A bill of exceptions is a written document that a party creates when they disagree with a judge's decision or evidence presented during a trial. It should include the party's objections and the reasons for them, and it must be signed by the judge and filed with the court of appeals. Although it is not commonly used in modern civil litigation, it is still used in some state courts.

A more thorough explanation:

A bill of exceptions is a formal written document that a party submits to object to a judge's decision or relevant evidence presented during a trial. It is a way for a party to challenge a ruling made by the judge during the trial. The bill of exceptions should include the party's objections and the basis for their objections. It must be signed by the judge and filed with the court of appeals.

For example, if a defendant in a criminal trial objects to the admission of certain evidence, they can file a bill of exceptions to challenge the judge's decision to allow the evidence. The bill of exceptions would outline the defendant's objections and the reasons why they believe the evidence should not have been admitted.

In modern civil litigation, the bill of exceptions has been replaced by the practice of parties filing a direct appeal. However, it still applies in some state courts.

My berkeley paragraph finally disappeared. I definitely think it is just an indicator that they are actively reviewing files, and does not mean anything about A, WL, or Rs
