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.

Going to law school with you is even more fun than going to San Sebastian, Irún, Hendaye, Biarritz, Bayonne or being sick to my stomach on the Travesera de Gracia in Barcelona partly because in your orange shirt you look like a better happier St. Sebastian partly because of my love for you, partly because of your love for yoghurt partly because of the fluorescent orange tulips around the birches partly because of the secrecy our smiles take on before people and statuary

Man, there is this girl I visit every month at this one restaurant who I used to go skinny dipping with naked like @ararara always talked about in San Diego. We randomly reconnected like two months ago at this place she works at and we talk a lot about John Steinbeck books. If I don't visit her this month, she might be sad. However, this is my first day not sick and I worry about getting her sick and I am broke. What should I do LSD?
