"Any item of outrage shall be forgotten by the time a more complex solution or answer has revealed itself."
Akin to the Murray Gell-mann law as suggested by Michael Crichton, this law deals with the cascading effects of outrage on social forums such as Facebook and subsequent amnesia when the outrage has subsided. Various types of mindless shaming and outrage may be considered, and the law is applicable to situation where the cause of the outrage turns out to have been false after but where the negative effect is not reversed.

Get the Pria's Lawmug. Commonly shortened to the OCLRE. Used to pop off with the best mock trial competitions in Ohio, but now takes 3 weeks to return scores and another 2 to award best witnesses and attorneys. Hasn't been the same since they went virtual, and they just might be using COVID as an excuse to slack off.
Man, I sure hope the Ohio Center for Law Related Education gives us our scores this weekend.
First time?
