Forfeiture and waiver are two concepts that U.S. courts apply in determining whether reversible error has occurred. Waiver is the voluntary relinquishment, surrender or abandonment of some known right or privilege. Forfeiture law Forfeiture is the act of losing or surrendering something as a penalty for a mistake or fault or failure to perform, etc. Per U.S. v. Olano , if a defendant has waived a right, then he cannot obtain redress in appellate court. If he has merely forfeited the right, e.g. by failing to raise a timely objection law objection , then the standard of review become plain error pursuant to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 52 b . This means that, whereas if he had raised a timely objection, the burden of proof would have been on the opposing party to show that the error was harmless error , now the burden of proof is on the aggrieved party to show that the error was plain error. Moreover, in federal cases, the U.S. Court of Appeals may or may not choose to exercise its discretion to correct the plain error. It usually will not, unless failure to correct it would result in a miscarriage of justice that would seriously affect the fairness, integrity or reputation of the justice system. However, the courts relax their application of the plain error test in cases involving constitutional error . ref cite court litigants United States v.

The Richmond Declaration was made by 95 Quaker s representatives of 12 Friends Yearly Meetings, but excluding those with the majority of membership in September 1887, at a conference in Richmond, Indiana . It was a declaration of faith, and although Quakers do not have a dogma or creed , the Richmond Declaration has been used as a standard by Orthodox now represented by Friends United Meeting and Evangelical Quakers represented by Evangelical Friends International ever since. The Friends United Meeting General Board reaffirmed the declaration as a statement of faith in February 2007. The declaration stated, among other things, that the holy scriptures i.e. the Bible were a greater authority than the inner light this emphasis is something that many yearly meetings of Quakers do not agree upon, yet it remains a defining aspect of the successors to the Orthodox branch. It has ever been, and still is, the belief of the Society of Friends that the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament were given by inspiration of God that, therefore, there can be no appeal from them to any other authority whatsoever that they are able to make wise unto salvation, through faith which is in Jesus Christ.
