  • In most jurisdictions you have 2 kinds of courts, criminal and civil. Criminal is the government accusing a person or entity of breaking a law and saying they should be punished (fines, confinement, death, etc). Civil is a person or entity accusing another person or entity of harming them in some way and saying they should be punished with a fine. Both trials can technically happen at the same time but they tend to avoid doing that for various reasons.






  • There was a throwback to how to hold a pen/pencil in the US going back to even forcing left handed people to use their right hand, to disastrous results. There are many ways to perform the function, many with their own pros and cons, but as someone else mentioned it might have simply been a “started doing it 1 way and was resistant to change”.

    I am curious in what way you hold it which was so different it was seen as needing to be corrected.
