Confession of error : ウィキペディア英語版 | Confession of error Confession of error is a legal practice whereby the United States Solicitor General in his or her role representing the federal government before the Supreme Court of the United States admits a lower court incorrectly decided a case and it is thereby sent back for reconsideration. By confessing error, the Solicitor General declares that the federal government's position, which prevailed in the lower court, was wrong. The Supreme Court then vacates the lower court's judgment and remands the case to allow the lower court to consider it in light of the confession of error.〔 (Discussing GVRs (grant, vacate, remand) in the context of confessions of error).〕 One example is that Solicitor General Drew Days, III argued in a petition for certiorari in ''Knox v. United States''〔''United States v. Knox'', 977 F.2d 815, 817 (3d Cir. 1992), ''cert. granted'', 113 S. Ct. 2926, ''vacated and remanded'', 114 S. Ct. 375 (1993), ''aff'd'', 32 F.3d 733 (3d Cir. 1994), ''cert. denied'', 1994 WL 512613 (U.S. Jan. 17, 1995).〕 that the Circuit Court's decision had been wrong, even though the Circuit Court had found in favor of the government. He urged the Supreme Court to vacate Knox's conviction for possession of child pornography; they remanded the case to Circuit Court. ==References==
