if we're discussing "Rule 15(c)(1)(C)(ii)" it means you've nested your rules far too much and need to split into extra rules

@legoktm I’m so confused by that lead sentence
where’s the subject of the second part? did the court (not Court?) hold back that relation (which one)? did someone forget the noun that the adjective “back” applies to? (no, it seems like “relation back” is one noun phrase?)
also, Rule 15(c)(1)(C) *of what*? does the US have a single rule book?
@LucasWerkmeister @legoktm Yeah I agree, in "[a] case in which the court held that relation back under Rule [Foo] depends on [Bar]" feels like "relation back" is some special law thing that could do with a link.
@samwilson @LucasWerkmeister AIUI "relation back" is a way for you to make some amendment or change but have it be considered done at the time of the original filing, which is necessary if e.g. the statute of limitations has already expired.
Probably merits a short Wikipedia article about the doctrine but I'll wait until we discuss it in class to make sure I understand it correctly first!
@LucasWerkmeister @legoktm 2) no, it was specifically ‘of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure’, the author just didn’t mention in the lead due to, I imagine, their American bias. Fixed it :-)
@stjn @legoktm thanks – I thought the answer was going to be “yes, it’s called the <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Code>” ^^
> does the US have a single rule book?
hahaha if only ;-)
in terms of judicial branch rules, there's also Federal Rules of Evidence (I've been meaning to blog about this), Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, and so on, https://www.law.cornell.edu/rules has a list.
And then of course, each state has its own variation of all of those, which are usually based off the federal rules but subtly different (e.g. New York State declined to follow https://wikis.world/@legoktm/117239345138257040)

"she furnishes the ticket"
TIL a new meaning of furnish.
Until now I would have interpreted something like "she furnished the court with her ticket" with the same elaborateness as "TP-ing a house", or "painting the town red" — but it can simply mean having provided it?
