deception

Read a random definition: infliction of emotional distress

A quick definition of deception:

Deception is when someone intentionally makes another person believe something that is not true. This can be done by lying, withholding information, or making false promises. It is against the law to deceive someone in many situations, such as in business or when committing a crime. Deception is a form of dishonesty that can cause harm to others.

A more thorough explanation:

Deception is when someone intentionally makes another person believe something that is not true. It involves hiding the truth and creating a false impression. According to Ohio's criminal code, deception can be caused by false or misleading statements, withholding information, preventing someone from acquiring information, or any other action that creates a false impression.

  • Theft by deception: This occurs when someone uses deception to steal from another person. For example, if someone sells a fake product by making false claims about its quality, they are committing theft by deception.
  • Unfair and deceptive trade practices: This happens when a business misleads consumers in order to gain an unfair advantage. For instance, if a company advertises a product as having certain features that it does not actually have, they are engaging in unfair and deceptive trade practices.

Both of these examples illustrate how deception involves intentionally misleading someone in order to gain something. In both cases, the person or business committing the deception is trying to benefit themselves at the expense of others.

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
