Some judges break their pen after issuing a death sentence. But why do they do it? The tradition was upheld to represent the gravity of a death sentence and the immense responsibility associated with deciding someone's fate.

WORD OF THE DAY

Assiduity

Great care. For example, ‘She prepared for the project with assiduity.’ Pronounced as AS-UH-DYOO-UH-TEE.

Quote of the day
