Talk:Nunc pro tunc

this article needs work

edit

This article is a mess grammatically at certain points. And the several of the statements of law are misleading and possibly incorrect. At the very least, they suggest a generality that is inappropriate. This article needs substantial work and ought to have a warning on the main page (I don't know how to put those stub, etc. warnings in, but somebody should).

-- but the "contradicts itself" flag doesn't seem to be the right one. 68.213.98.28 20:14, 12 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Arkansas bar exam

edit

When I took the Arkansas bar exam it not only had essay and multiple choice sections, but also a definitional section, requiring the applicant to provide a definition for a legal term, e.g., "What is a check?" The story I heard then was that when test-takers were asked to define "nunc pro tunc" back in the 1970's, one applicant wrote "He's a Vietnamese general." They gave him 5 points for trying, or so the story went. --Zeno Cosini~enwiki (talk) 02:16, 26 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
