Read a random definition: pendent party jurisdiction

A quick definition of false swearing:

False swearing, also known as perjury, is when a person lies or gives misleading information while under oath. This means that they promise to tell the truth, but instead they say something that is not true. It is against the law to commit perjury and can result in serious consequences.

A more thorough explanation:

False swearing, also known as perjury, is when a person deliberately makes false or misleading statements while under oath. This means that they are lying while promising to tell the truth.

For example, if a witness in a court case swears to tell the truth and then lies about what they saw, they are committing perjury. Another example is if someone lies on a sworn affidavit or in a deposition.

These examples illustrate how false swearing is a serious offense because it undermines the integrity of the legal system. When people lie under oath, it can lead to wrongful convictions or acquittals, and it can also harm innocent people.

Bro didnt realize that Application review is on a rolling basis. Decisions are made on individual applications as quickly as possible; however, the time required to a make a decision will vary among applications. A rolling admission process allows for extending the review process as appropriate ensuring that each application receives full and individualized attention in the context of careful comparison to other complete applications.

Raw eggs roll down my throat. I actually like eating raw eggs, however, the feeling of a glob of yolk/albumen gives me the feeling of chocking. Idk I personally think pushing yourself in all regards is a net positive, so I dig it. How many raw eggs have you ever eaten/drank at once? My record is 10
