A quick definition of wrongful-conception action:

A wrongful-conception action, also known as a wrongful-pregnancy action, is a type of lawsuit that a parent can bring to seek damages when a pregnancy occurs after a failed sterilization. This means that the parent did not intend to become pregnant and may have taken steps to prevent it, but the sterilization procedure was not successful.

A more thorough explanation:

A wrongful-conception action is a type of lawsuit where a parent sues for damages resulting from a pregnancy that occurred despite a failed sterilization procedure. It is also known as a wrongful-pregnancy action.

For example, if a woman undergoes a sterilization procedure but becomes pregnant due to a medical error, she may file a wrongful-conception action against the doctor or hospital responsible for the mistake. The damages sought may include the cost of the pregnancy and childbirth, as well as any emotional distress or loss of income resulting from the unplanned pregnancy.

Another example is if a couple uses contraception but the method fails, resulting in an unintended pregnancy. They may file a wrongful-conception action against the manufacturer of the contraceptive product if it can be proven that the failure was due to a defect in the product.

These examples illustrate how a wrongful-conception action can arise from a failure of medical procedures or products, leading to an unplanned pregnancy and resulting damages for the parents.

Minus those random R decisions from UMN yesterday though right? I wonder what happened there. I don’t think I’ve seen a school start the season out with anything but As on here
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)
