Nerding Out Moment #1: Fabulous Words

This quarter in school, I'm taking two paralegal classes. In addition to being fascinated by the materials and information presented, I am totally nerding out over some fabulous words I'm learning. Here are a few of them, as defined by Black's Law Dictionary:

Malfeasance: "A wrongful or unlawful act."

Surplusage: "Redundant words in a statute or legal instrument; language that does not add meaning."

And....My favorite so far: Scintilla: "A spark or trace--'the standard is that there must be more than a scintilla of evidence.'"

That said, I shall continue my studies, hoping to avoid committing a malfeasance, surplusage, and coming to conclusions with only a scintilla of evidence. 

(with limited time and resources, this is best picture I could find to describe my feelings over my increasing vocabulary)
