Did You Know?

I missed yesterday's "Did You Know?" so, I will be doing two of them today. I got busy!

The first term is modus vivendi. The second term is per curiam.

modus vivendi - A Latin phrase meaning "a temporary understanding pending a final agreement." It is the acceptance of a continuing working relationship, with fundamental disagreements ignored or held in abeyance.

per curiam -  1. Latin meaning "by the court:"; an opinion by all the judges of an appeals court. 2. An unsigned decision by an appeals court refusing to review a lower court's decision.
