Dear subscribers,
Today's LTOTD is a double header! Our legal team indicated that providing more that one legal term could expose us to liability as our organization is called Legal Term of the Day, which may or may not be viewed as a contractual arrangement according to the objective theory of contract. Just to be extra safe, we added another day on top of that, skipping the last two days. Feel free to divide up the two legal terms below among the three total days however you see fit.
Sincerely, the LTOTD team
