Happy to share that my article, "Contracting Without Promising," will be published in the University of Toronto Law Journal (@utpjournals)! Here's a pre-print version: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.….

Of course these _are_ hearsay, even if a lawyer bills you 0.3 hours to mistakenly tell you otherwise. FRE 801 defines technical terms for federal courts, but it does not control the English language.
As far as I can tell, 'hearsay' as an ordinary English term predates hearsay-related evidentiary rules by about 350 years. Nonetheless, the lawyers storm in to claim that they own the place!
Hey! I used to live in Millersville, Tennessee! Looks like they are really thriving there.
