collateral fact

Read a random definition: in-kind support and maintenance (ISM)

A quick definition of collateral fact:

A collateral fact is a piece of information that is not directly related to the main issue being discussed. It may involve a different transaction or event than the one being debated. For example, if two people are arguing about a car accident, a collateral fact might be that one of the drivers had a previous speeding ticket. Collateral facts are not as important as the main facts being discussed, but they may still be relevant to the case.

A more thorough explanation:

A collateral fact is a fact that is not directly related to the issue in dispute, especially because it involves a different transaction from the one at issue. For example, in a case about a car accident, a collateral fact could be the fact that the defendant has a criminal record for a different offense. This fact is not directly related to the car accident, but it could be used to impeach the defendant's credibility as a witness.

Another example of a collateral fact could be a witness's opinion about a different matter that is not relevant to the case at hand. This opinion is not directly related to the issue in dispute, but it could be used to show the witness's bias or lack of credibility.

almost all of my apps have been UR for 6 weeks at this point I feel exhausted waiting for them to finish
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
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

I mean if Fordham doesn't release today I will purposefully get on a train, go to new york, and then take the stinkiest shit inside the admission office's toilet (potentially clogging it and forcing them to get a plumber)
