A quick definition of substitute amendment:

A substitute amendment is a formal change proposed or made to a law, document, or order. It can involve adding, deleting, or correcting wording. In parliamentary law, it refers to a motion that changes the wording of another motion. There are different types of amendments, such as those made by adding, inserting, striking out, or substituting wording. A friendly amendment is one that the person who made the original motion supports and to which no one objects.

A more thorough explanation:

A substitute amendment is a formal revision or addition proposed or made to a statute, constitution, pleading, order, or other instrument. It is a change made by addition, deletion, or correction, especially an alteration in wording. The process of making such a revision is also called an amendment.

  • Amendment as of course: An amendment, usually to pleadings, that a party has a statutory right to apply for without the court's permission.
  • Amendment on court's own motion: A change to a pleading or other document by the judge without a motion from a party.
  • Nunc pro tunc amendment: An amendment that is given retroactive effect, usually by court order.
  • Committee amendment: An amendment to a motion reported by a committee to which the motion was referred.
  • Floor amendment: An amendment offered from the floor by an individual member, as distinguished from a committee amendment.

These examples illustrate how a substitute amendment can be applied in different contexts, such as in court proceedings or parliamentary law. They show how an amendment can be proposed by a party or a judge, or by a committee or an individual member in a legislative body.

Anyone know how long it takes to get aid package after getting admitted to UChicago or Northwestern?
I’d ask in the t14 chat bc lol it may be a bit until you can get someone who can answer that question here

@syddak: Oof tough spot. Congrats on the As. Did either indicate either via email/mail that they would be following up with aid, and if so, did they provide a time frame? It may be acceptable to email them and indicate seat deposits are fast approaching and you are curious if you can expect further info (aid) from the school to aid u in ur decision..
