ghetto binding
A method of binding volumes of documents whereby the binder staples the document lengthwise in three places on the left side of the page (i.e. top, middle, and bottom) and then wraps the entire left side of the document volume, front to back, with electrical tape, covering up the staples and creating a crude binding.
Uh oh, these appellate briefs need to be in the court's hands in Albany no later than tomorrow, FedEx Office is telling me they won't finish binding them by the final pickup time tonight for overnight delivery, and the court will reject the entire appeal if they are not bound according to its uptight rules. what do I do?
You should consider ghetto binding that shit, counsel!
